And blessed are your eyes, for they see, and your ears, for they hear. For verily I say unto you, that many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see,and have not seen them; and to hear those things , which ye hear, and have not heard them."(KJV)

Read moreFollowing some unfortunate events in the spring of 2020 where remembrance items were removed and destroyed from the sites of local graves, local families gathered last summer at an open community meeting held at Wagner Lake to discuss the future of the ZCBJ Cemetery. Community members in attendance volunteered to serve on a newly formed board to manage the perpetual care and maintenance of the local cemetery. Research into the ZCBJ Cemetery was conducted and there no longer being a ZCBJ Lodge in Wagner, the closest lodge in Utica did not want to be responsible for a cemetery in Wagner. This gave the community board the opportunity to reorganize recently as the Wagner Cemetery Association and the former ZCBJ Cemetery winnow be known as the Wagner Cemetery. Work has been going on to transfer the care of the former ZCBJ Cemetery to the Wagner Cemetery Association. A volunteer board has been formed consisting of the following members and officers. Mike Medricky-President, Chad Peters-Vice President, Patty Frei-Secretary, Linda Youngbluth-Treasurer, Dave Robertson, Todd Johannsen and Melissa Zacharias. The Wagner Cemetery is the portion from the old original cemetery in the middle to the southern edge. St John the Baptist Catholic Church maintains their own cemetery as a separate entity on the northern end.
