James W. Hagar was born at Avoca, Jackson Co., Kansas, and was educated in the public schools of Jackson county and also at Campbell College at Holton, having spent his entire lifetime in this vicinity.
Mr. Hagar was a man who was well liked and highly respected by all who knew him. He was in the Drug Store Business on the east side of the square for several years, and later he was appointed as Marshall, serving as Night Marshall for ten years and as Chief for almost twelve years.
One of his grandchildren said that Will was very well thought of, but wouldn't stand for any foolishness. He would put someone in jail if they shot a duck on the lake within city limits.
He was always very kind and considerate in all of his dealings in public and private life.
Will collected tinfoil and made bushel baskets full of tinfoil balls, and then sent them to orphanages so they could redeem them for cash. He picked up all the tinfoil bits as he did his rounds.
When the swimming pool was built by the WPA, he would tell local kids to get out at night -- and they'd always wonder how he knew they were there, when they weren't supposed to be.
Will was survived by his wife, four children and numerous grandchildren.
