In this early 20th century photo, Elias Flynn is shown cutting hair at his barbershop that was located along the railroad tracks on S. Maple Ave. It was one of many in town at the time to keep railroaders looking sharp. The American Legion parking lot is on this location now.<br />
<br />
According to the "Images of America" book by Mary Rubin that covered Brunswick, she offered the tidbit that when Ken Harshman retired in 1989, he brought in Karen Poole, the town's first female barber to take over his business.<br />
<br />
Some of Brunswick’s best barbers over the years operated in commercial shops or out of their homes, including Frank Snoots, George Merriman, Frank Wenner, Bill Cage, Bob Derflinger.<br />
<br />
KIm Myers remembered "Richard Magalis, husband of Eva Magalis elementary school teacher, was my barber. He had a shop in his home on A Street." Richard Bowers replied that "I used to go there, too! He polished off the haircut by burning off stray hairs with a long match."<br />
