Christ Wagner naturalized on 26 October 1888 in Hennepin, Minnesota.
This doesn't mean this is where he's from, but could have been the closest naturalization office. I contacted the Minnesota State Archives and gave them info for the family. At this point the family would have been moving from Deuel County, South Dakota to Tennessee. The blizzard that affected the family happened in January 1888.
Interesting, the affidavit states he arrived and has been in the United States since 3 October 1881. We have records that he arrived in 1864. I haven't found any records stating that he left the country. Maybe it's a simple thing where he had to be in the country for so many years and kept it at that. Or maybe this is the wrong Christ Wagner.
