Powers, A.S.

From Lane Co Oregon

The Morning Oregonian reported in September 4, 1867 that Springfield had a general store and several “workshops.” A cabinet maker named A.S. Powers had a shop in the town center at least until 1865 (Walling 1884:453).

The Powers Family consisted of Albert S. Powers, furniture maker and sash and door manufacturer; A.W. Powers, tanner; B.B. Powers, chair manufacturer; Benjamin F. Powers, cabinet maker and builder; Edwin P. Powers, carpenter; and John G. Powers, blacksmith.
