Taylor's Barber Shop marks 100 years in Marion
In Marion the Taylor family barbershop on Main Street celebrates a century in business founded by Thomas E. Taylor, the state’s likely oldest minority owned business still under one family. Wendell Patterson, great grandson of the founder, recalls a community vigil held when Henry Coleman Jr. died, drawing several hundred mourners to the shop.
