"Homer Fred Hoagland (1880-1973) was a Barber County Commissioner from 1928 until 1942. He was a vital part of the county's growth. Homer was brought to the county from his native Rolla, Missouri in a covered wagon in 1884. His parents, William S. and Cassandra Hoagland, first settled a claim south of Coats in Barber County. In the late eighty's they moved their family to Sun City, leasing the old Whitaker Hotel before purchasing the Jimmy Miles Hotel."

Joseph Nichols and William Hoagland were the delegates from Bonanza, Oregon. -- Republican League Register, a Record of the Republican Party in the State of Oregon, by Oregon, Register Publishing Co, Executive Committee, State Central Committee, Republican League of Oregon, Republican Party, Oregon, 1896, page 136.
