Notes
a. Note:   Pioneers and Incidents of the Upper Coquille Valley 1890-1940 by Alice H. Wooldridge Pg. 96 John LaFayette Wagner was born near Taylorville, Johnson county, Tenn., Dec. 11, 1848 and died in Myrtle Point, Coos county, Jan 3, 1917 at the age of 68 years 3 days. He was the son of David Wagner who moved to North Caroline immediately after the Civil War closed. He married Miss Mary E. Horton Apr. 5, 1872 and the following day started for Oregon, where Mr. Wagner's father and mother had gone the previous year. There were 75 people in the immigrant train with Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Wagner and they stopped for about a month in Jackson county in Southwest Oregon. In August they came to the South Fork of the Coquille. Among those of the party coming to Coos county were the Hayes, Masts and Whittingtons and others. Mr. Wagner secured a homestead and redemption claim about 2 miles farther up the river than his father and mother located and a number of years later purchased from his father the Donation Land Claim which David Wagner located in 1871, and upon which the town of Powers is now situated, Mr. Wagner having sold to the Smith Timber Co., in July 1912 and in the fall of that year moved to Myrtle Point. What is now Powers was known as Wagner till it was found that another postoffice bore the same name which conflicted. For a number of years the post office was known as Rural, Oregon, and was at the Wagner home. Mr. and Mrs. Wagner are the parents of 10 children: Lee of Powers, Mrs. Fannie Crunk of Bancroft, Charles now in Alaska, Mrs. Dollie Barre of Bandon, John who died in Oct. 1915, Mrs. Alice Evernden of Bridge; Sterling of Powers, Mrs. Nellie Briggs of Myrtle Point , Glenn and Wilbur of Powers. His wife and 9 children survive. Buried in the Myrtle Point cemetery. -- Myrtle Point Enterprise, Jan 14, 1917
