Harold P. Wagner, 55 year old Fremont township farmer, was killed yesterday afternoon in the fire that destroyed his home. The Wagner farm is located four miles north and one mile west of Highview. Cause of the blaze has not been determined. Jack Patterson, Webster City fire chief, said that when the blare was discovered the house was burned so completely that it was all but impossible to tell whaVhad started it.
Wagner was at home alone when the fire broke out.
His wife was in Webster City, shopping, and his two sons were in school.
A passing motorist saw the burning house and notified Ellis Tipping whose farm is about one quarter mile west of the Wagner farm. Tipping Kathleen Wagner, sister of the fire victim, drove to the Harold Wagner farm and found flames had already broke through the south wall of the two story frame house.
They pushed open a door at the northeast corner of the house, and found Wagner's badly burned body just inside the door.
Tipping said that flames had not yet reached the northeast corner of the house when he and Miss Wagner pulled the victim's body from the building,
Probably Trapped Elsewhere Wagner apparently had been trapped in the fire in another part of the house and had managed to reach the door before he died. The fire apparently started before 3 p.m. The Webster City fire department rescue squad was called, to the scene but no fire equipment was taken to the fire. The house was all but consumed by flames when the fire was discovered and there were no nearby buildings threatened by the blaze.
