Description

This is an ad for Harrison Baugh's barbershop. Florence historian Lee Freeman notes: "In 1870 Harrison Baugh (1841-aft. 1900), a Virginia native, was working as a laborer, but by 1884 had opened a barber shop over the saloon of Ellis & Blair on Court Street, which he had moved to the second story of the Stafford building by 1888. By August of 1894 he was located on West Tombigbee Street and by 1900 was working out of a shop on Mobile Street. Harrison’s wife’s name was Mary Blaesh [?] and they had a total of five children with two still living by 1900. The three known children were: a daughter, Annie (1863-); a son Percy (1867-); a son Harrison (1877-aft. 1920). From at least 1884 to at least 1888 Harrison advertised his barbershop in the Florence Banner."
