Summary
Distinguished Citizen 1985
Amos Kaplon (1889-1987) with Bill Moore at the Lovettsville blacksmith shop Mr. Moore still operates today.
Abraham Issac Kaplon (left) was the elder son of Victor Kaplon, who opened a department store that sold work clothes for the expanding B&O Railroad in Brunswick before it sold higher quality merchandise later.
Amos, as he was known, was an outstanding pitcher for the town baseball team in the early 20th century. He refused a major league contract with the New York Giants due to his family business obligations.
A talented inventor, Amos listed among his creations a pre-combustion engine, a heat indicator for automobiles, a double-combustion motor, a rear-axle motor, wheel balancers, a hill-holding device, a portable house, an attachment to prevent backlash on fishing reels and a collapsible minnow net for fisherman.
