At the front of the Wagoner County Courthouse stands a block pedestal with the cornerstone of the first county courthouse. On the reverse side of the cornerstone inscription is the name SAM POWELL. Powell was a U.S. Representative for Indian Territory and in 1897 was influential in having a U.S. Court established in Wagoner.

The monument shows his name and the date of the first courthouse - June 7, 1897. Beneath this is the inscription:
