David Wagner (December 31, 1826 – August 4, 1902) was a justice of the Supreme Court of Missouri from 1865 to 1877.
Born in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, Wagner came to Missouri in 1842 and was admitted to the bar in 1848.
[1] He practiced law until 1862, when he was elected to the Missouri Senate,[2] and during his short tenure there "became a leading member of that body".
These publications were "admirably and systematically arranged", and until the official revision of 1879, Wagner's Statutes were "almost universally cited".
[1][2] Wagner died in 1902,[3] after a long illness, survived by his wife and four sons.
