"Located about 7 miles due south from Irvine on Highway #89, and was named for Mr. Jonah Wagers who owned and operated a large general store in the community. In the early days mail was brought in on horseback from Drip Rock and the carrier made 2 stops each day at the post office, one in the early morning at the beginning of his route from Drip rock to Wagersville to Station Camp to Wisemantown and to Irvine, and the second on the return of his circuit about 8:00 P.M. According to Mr. Laban Park, who is a descendant of Mr. Asa Park, one of the original settlers of the community, "neither rain, sleet, snow nor knee-deep mud" kept the mail from coming through. The Wagers store and post office was a gathering place for all who lived in the area and waiting for the 8:00 P.M. mail carrier's visit was a nightly social event for the men. Among those receiving mail from the Wagersville post office were the Durbins, Wilsons, Flynns, Fowlers, Parks, Scrivners, Wagers, and Cox families.
