WELLS FARGO OFFICE

This one-story frame building is the home of the local office of Wells Fargo, run by Kris Wagner. Wagner is assisted by a clerk, Coolie Fagen.  Office hours are 7am to 7pm Monday through Saturday. THE WELLS FARGO BARN houses a stagecoach, fodder and 8 horses owned by the company.

Wells Fargo employs two drivers and two guards who alternate trips. The drivers are Chuck Nevers and Chandler Wells.  Newton Gilly and Billy Glass are the guards.  When not making a run, the drivers and guards act as stable hands or office help for the company. Sometimes a guard or driver will be sent over to Brewster or Mad Mesa to make a special run and will be out of town for one or two weeks. Usually, Chandler Wells takes on these assignments. In such cases, Wells Fargo will hire a temporary employee at $3 per day until the regular employee returns .

Kris Wagner lives with his wife, Emma, and their two sons, Luke and Jacob, in building 70. Luke and Jacob sometimes help around the company offices.  Coolie Fagan boards at FLY'S BOARDING HOUSE. Chandler Wells and Newton Gilly board at THE GREAT WESTERN. Billy Glass boards at THE COCHISE. Chuck Nevers and his wife, Carrie, live in building 86 which they rent from Kris Wagner.
