Wenner worked as a grain merchant. In April 1861, he wrote a letter to Governor Thomas H. Hicks about the seizure of his grain en route to Georgetown on the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal by military troops.[4] His warehouses in Berlin were seized during the Civil War for belief he was aiding the Confederates, but in 1863, the Secretary of the Treasury withdrew the lawsuits.[5] In 1870, he built a new section to a mill originally owned by George H. Hogan. In 1872, he began working with miller Walper G. Musgrove in Berlin. The firm of grain merchants Wenner, Jordan & Company formed in 1879. Wenner partnered with Christian Smith in that enterprise and worked as a senior partner. After his death, the firm was renamed Jordan, Crampton & Company.[2] [6]
