Notes: Pool had 3 wives. Alletta Apgar (1835-1882) was the mother of 11 children, several of whom married Applegaters. Second wife Artheusa Evans had one son in 1885. Pool married his third wife, Annachristine Haberle, in Harney County in 1900 - we don't think it is her. Pool lived in the Big Butte/Eagle Point area and is buried at the Brownsboro Cemetery.
