George Washington Wagenseller, now an in- fluential citizen of Middleburg, Snyder County, Pa., was born in Selingsgrove, Pa., April 27, 1868, the son of William J. Wagenseller and his wife, Rebecca, whose maiden name was Forrer. Mr. Wagenseller ' s early education was obtained in the High School and Susquehanna University at Selinsgrove. He entered the Junior class of Buck- nell in the fall of iSqo, graduating with the class of 1892. After leaving college, he taught for one year in the Coatesville Academy, and was for one year principal of Bloomfield Academy at Bloom- field, Pa. In March of 1894 Mr. Wagenseller en- tered the journalistic field, having acquired the Middleburg Post, a paper which has since borne his name as publisher and proprietor, and whose col- umns have obtained a reputation for being fear- lessly and ably edited. The Posl to-day holds the unique and unchallenged position of having a circu- lation equal to the combined issue of its three strongest competitors in Snyder County. At school Mr. Wagenseller was one of the few men in college who provided, by personal efforts and savings, the necessary funds for his education, without going into debt or accepting financial help from anyone. He returned to his home in Selins- grove, after graduation, with his diploma and ten cents in cash, but with debts all paid. In the business world, Mr. Wagen.seller ' s word is as good as his bond, and to-day he stands as a leading factor in every progressive movement, not only in his own town and county, but in many outside enterprises. He was the chief promoter of the Middlecreek Electric Cornpany, a $150,000 corporation that furnishes light and power in Selinsgrove, Sunbury, Northumberland and other places, and holds one-fifth interest in the Selinsgrove and Freeburg Electric Street Railway Company, and is secretary of both corporations. In his domestic life he is the father of two interesting daughters, Esther, born January 22, 1 90 1, and Doris, born January 2 , 1905.
