Barber shops made early headlines in county

SHERMAN COUNTY HISTORICAL SOCIETY

Barber shops were in the news often in Sherman County’s early years. In late January 1900, A. M. Bennett’s barber store escaped any damage from a fire that broke out at 4:30 a.m. even though it was only two feet from the burning structures.

The goods in Henry Dolling’s shoe store were badly damaged; Thomas Inks reported about $1,000 in damages; Peter Slobodny about $1,400 in damages; and Henry Dolling about $400 in damages.
