Powers, Seattle transit operator who began as a motorman in 1911, yesterday retired from municipal service amid praise from his superiors for courtesy and safety records. "Ross has had more than 41 years' service and in all that time there was only one complaint from the public about him and that one was so minor that it didn't really amount to anything," said J.B. Wadlington, Assistant Superintendent of Transportation. "So far as I know, no man in transit service can equal that record. And for safe driving, the Transit System would have saved big amounts of money in damage claims if all operators were like Ross." For the past 14 years Powers has been on the North Queen Anne Hill run, taking his coach out of the barn each morning at 4:45 o'clock.

Dahl (sic) and Mr. Charles C. Fagan Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles C. Fagan, were married Monday evening at the home of the bride's uncle, 627 Thirty-sixth Avenue North by Rev. Ernest Vincent Shayler. Miss Bessie Johnson, cousin of the bride, was the flower girl and Miss Eva Agassiz was the bridesmaid. Mr. Claire Henry acted as best man. Mr. and Mrs. Fagan left that evening for Haines, Alaska, where they will make their home. ========== The Seattle Times Wednesday, March 4, 1942 Ex-Seattle Man Will Serve At Home in Africa Charles C. (Chuck) Fagan, Broadway High School graduate, will be going home when he leaves Seattle for Africa next week as head of a party of Seattle youths who will serve as ambulance drivers with the American Field Service in Libya. Fagan has lived in Johannesburg, South Africa, where his father, Charles Fagan, is an automobile distributor since 1934. He returned to Seattle last year to apply to join the United States Army Air Force. His older brother, Prescott (Peck) Fagan became a pilot officer with the South African Air Force at the beginning of the war, but Charles decided he wanted to wear an American uniform. Fagan discovered, however, when he arrived in the United States, that he was over age and after a few months decided to volunteer with the American Field Services. The group of ambulance drivers will serve with American, British or Free French units on the Middle Eastern Front. ========== The Seattle Times Monday, December 14, 1942 Peck Fagan, Hero of South African Air Force, Is Home Peck Fagan left the United State ten years ago full of enthusiasm at the prospect of adventure in Africa and likely full of the kind of callowness every youth must outgrow. Today Captain Prescott D. (Peck) Fagan was back in Seattle, thoroughly mature. Indeed, in some ways the Captain was a little old for a man of 30, because something happens to a human being who has seen as much of death as Peck Fagan has seen in major actions where his part won him the name "The One Man Eagle Squadron of South Africa." Captain Fagan of the South African Air Force was weary of war, but he resolutely turned his face toward more of it, because soon he will be back in the fight again, this time in the uniform of one of the Armed Forces of the United States. "I'm sick of killing," said the former Seattle man. "I'm sick of killing people and I've killed a hell of a lot." Ready to Go Again No one knows just how many Italians have lost their lives because of Pack Fagan's skill at the controls; no one knows what quantity of supplies he has blown up, nor how many enemy installations he has destroyed. For Peck Fagan, personally, it has been enough to last him the rest of his life, but for Peck Fagan, patriot and American, he is ready to go in again, on any fighting front, in whatever branch of the service in which his country may need him. That's the way it is with the Fagan brothers. The Captain was reunited today with his brother, Charles Fagan Jr., whose ship was torpedoed off the Atlantic Coast when he was on his way to join the American Field Service and who now is a Chief Boatswain's Mate in the Coast Guard. Their grandmother, Mrs. Charles Fagan, lives at 417 14th Avenue North; their parents now live in Chicago. On whatever fighting front Captain Fagan flies again, he will know that a combination of skill at the controls and luck at his shoulder are flying with him. Of 45 men in the squadron he joined originally a few years ago, only he and two others are alive today. And, wherever he flies, Peck Fagan will have the invaluable assistance of experience on his side. He knows what it is to bomb an Italian supply train carrying ammunition and to be shot out of the air not once, not twice, but three times. An eight car supply train was Fagan's target one grim day, when he swooped down from an altitude of 10,000 to 1,500 feet to bomb it. The missile hit squarely. Ammunition from the train flew high and threatened Fagan's plane. His crew motioned to him to pull up and he pulled in a hurry - just in time. Shot Down in Bush On one occasion, Captain Fagan, shot down in Bush County, lived with his crew for 10 days with their only shelter the wing of their plane and the African sun whipping down at them. Planes from their base dropped supplies to them and ultimately they were able to patch up their fuel tanks, build a runway with native labor and take off again for more fighting. Moving as rapidly as he has on his "job," it was ironic that the last leg of Captain Fagan's journey home to Seattle should have taken as long as it did. Only 40 hours were required to get him from his taking off place on the other side of the Atlantic to Miami, Florida. But it took him ten days to get from Miami to Seattle, transportation being what they are. ========== The Seattle Times Sunday, November 14, 1943 Mrs. Alison Smith Ballard Is Bride of Charles C. Fagan In a ceremony attended only by relatives, Mrs. Alison Smith Ballard was married to Mr. Charles C. Fagan Jr., Friday evening at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Paul Roland Smith. The service was read by Lieut. (j.g.) G.F. Walker, Navy Chaplain. The bride, who was unattended, wore a pastel blue suit with brown accessories and a corsage of orchids. After December 15 the couple will be at home at 411 34th Avenue. Mr. Fagan, a Chief Petty Officer in the United States Coast Guard, is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles C. Fagan of Chicago and Johannesburg, South Africa and formerly of Seattle. He is a grandson of Mrs. Charles C. Fagan and the late Mr. Fagan, a well-known Seattle professor in the early days and a grandnephew of Mrs. Frank P. Dow. His brother, Captain Prescott D. Fagan, a Marine Corps flyer, was unable to be present at the wedding. Before joining the Coast Guard, Mr. Fagan was with the American Field Services. The bride recently returned to Seattle after having lived several years in San Francisco. She has one brother, Stanton, a student at the Midshipmen's School in Chicago. She is the granddaughter of Mrs. Edwin Fowler, formerly of Kansas City, Missouri. Mrs. Fagan, who came from Chicago for her son's wedding is staying with Mrs. Dow until after the first of December. Due to pressure of war work Mr. Fagan Sr., could not come west. ========== The Seattle Times Sunday, August 7, 1955 Notes.. Notables. And a party aboard Mr. and Mrs. Charles C. Fagan's boat, Continental, today, to view the Gold Cup races, will be a family affair to honor the Fagan's son, daughter-in-law and granddaughter, Mr. and Mrs. Prescott D. Fagan and Sharon, who arrived Wednesday from three years in Calcutta, India. Another son and his family, Mr. and Mrs. C.C. Fagan Jr. and their sons, David and Charles 3rd, returned early in July from living 18 months in California and have rented a house on Meydenbauer Bay until they get into their Bellevue home next spring. The Seattle Times Tuesday, October 26, 1971 P.D. Fagan, ex-Marine flier, dies Prescott Dow (Peck), 59, who was the only American in the South African Air Force early in World War II, died yesterday in Durban, South Africa. Mr. Fagan, alborn in Alaska, was graduated from Broadway High School and the University of Washington. He was a Captain in the Southern African Air Force in the North African campaigns and later became a Major in the United States Marine Corps. After the war he returned to South Africa. Mr. Fagan is survived by his mother, Mary Fagan of Durban; a brother, Charles C. Fagan Jr., formerly of Seattle, who now lives in Spain and a daughter, Sharon, also of Durban.

Shot Down in Bush On one occasion, Captain Fagan, shot down in Bush County, lived with his crew for 10 days with their only shelter the wing of their plane and the African sun whipping down at them. Planes from their base dropped supplies to them and ultimately they were able to patch up their fuel tanks, build a runway with native labor and take off again for more fighting. Moving as rapidly as he has on his "job," it was ironic that the last leg of Captain Fagan's journey home to Seattle should have taken as long as it did. Only 40 hours were required to get him from his taking off place on the other side of the Atlantic to Miami, Florida. But it took him ten days to get from Miami to Seattle, transportation being what they are. ========== The Seattle Times Sunday, November 14, 1943 Mrs. Alison Smith Ballard Is Bride of Charles C.
