(Descendants of his brother Luther in Billings had been told that Silas died violently and was found face down in a pool of water with the back of his head smashed. This manner of death has not been confirmed by the author but it seems unlikely that the story is true). 2/16/94: Obituary on May 31, Big Timber, Mt (from Lori Frederickson, Box 245, Carseland, Alberta, TOJ0M0): MURDER OR SUICIDE - Silas Van Wagner found dead by a coyote party in a pool of stagnant water - Had been there 10 or 12 days - While chasing a band of coyotes yesterday afternoon on the west fork of White Beaver creek, 20 miles east of here, Frank Sanborn and Harry Patterson, discovered the body of a man lying in a pool of stagnant water. They at once sent a man to Columbus, the nearest telegraph office, to notify the authorities of this county. On receipt of the information Acting Coroner Lanphear with a jury, Dr. Almas and Sheriff De Hart, left for the scene. On their arrival an examination disclosed that the man had been dead some ten or twelve days. The body was in a badly decomposed condition. It was identified as that of Silas Van Wagner, who for several years has been a resident of Billings and Columbia. He was a carpenter by trade, married and had several daughters. Domestic troubles separated the family and for two or three years Van Wagner had lived alone. After the separation the wife and daughters lived in Billings, later removing to Kalispell. No marks or wounds were found on the body except a bruise on the head. The body was brought here tonight by the coroner and jury who will conclude the inquest after an autopsy is held tomorrow. The place where the body was found is 300 yards from the old government road, in the midst of a thicket of brush. Speculation is rife whether it is a case of suicide or murder.
