George Everett Wagner, 86, of Taylorsville

George Everett Wagner (affectionately known as Pud and Pap Pap) died peacefully on Nov. 2, 2008, at his home near Taylorsville.

He was born March 31, 1922, in Unionville, Frederick County, the son of the late Charles and Esther Wagner of Misty Meadow Farm, Mount Airy.

He was the devoted husband of Doris Walkling Wagner, his wife of 30 years.

He was a retired dairy farmer on the farm where he lived for 80 years.

He started fox chasing at age 5 and continued until he retired in 2006 as Master Emeritus of the Carrollton Hounds in Carroll County.

As a child he rode his horse under the tutelage of his uncle, Pete Moxley, who taught him the skills of the fox chase and also instilled the joys of the sport as well as knowledge of the countryside.

He developed his own pack of foxhounds and spent most of his teen years continuing his knowledge of horses and hounds with Frank Barnes, who was well known for his ability as a huntsman. In the early 1960s he was hired as huntsman for the Redland Hunt in Montgomery County. His reputation as an expert judge of foxhounds became well known.

Along with Joseph Hutton of Brookfield, he helped the Goshen Hunt establish a pack of notable fox hounds. He was often invited as part of a team of judges of fox hounds and was host to the Maryland Foxhunters Association, which held several meets at Misty Meadow Farm.

He remained active in the Taylorsville Hunt Club where he held offices as president, master of hounds and huntsman. About 30 years ago, he and Colonel Donald Thackeray of New Windsor re-activated the old Carrollton Hounds and developed a pack of fox hounds and continued the tradition of fox chasing.

Surviving him, in addition to his wife, is sister and brother-in-law Gloria Mae and Harry Bowen of Sachse, Texas; nieces Connie and Barbara and their children; and an extended family of step children, step grandchildren and step great-grandchildren.

A private Mass will be held at St. Bartholomew's Catholic Church, Manchester. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be sent to Carroll Hospice Inc. 292 Stoner Ave., Westminster, MD 21157; or the Carroll County Humane Society.
