I definitely remember Mr. Allen's barber shop! Our family was very good friends with the other "Mr. Allen" - Jesse's brother Bryce, who lived up the street on Lake Waukewan. You're absolutely right - the whole family (Jesse, Bryce and their sister June) were "old time yankees". I think I remember hearing a story that Bryce had only left the state of New Hampshire once in his entire life (a vacation trip to Maine) and never ventured further south than Concord.

Jesse was definitely the more "refined" of the brothers.
