Norm Ellis gives his final haircut, which was the first for his great-grandson, Clarkson Michael Owens.
(KAIR)--While April 1 marked both the start of a new week and a new month, it also meant the end of a near five-decade era in Atchison.
Easter Sunday was the official date for the end of operations at the longstanding Ellis Barber shop, located at 101 South 5th Street, in downtown Atchison.
According to information submitted by the family of long-time proprietor Norm Ellis, the shop opened on May 1, 1971.
That followed Ellis' purchase of the business, formerly known as the George Diebolt Barber Shop.
According to Ellis's daughter, Sid Jones, the final haircut given by her father was also the first haircut for Ellis' great-grandson, Clarkson Michael Owens.
