‘Brothers’ in beards: The advent of facial recognition software might have changed the Monticello Sesquicentennial’s Brothers of the Brush challenge. Looking at issues of the 1954 Monticello Bulletin-Sentinel (the Monticello newspaper merged with the Hurleyville Sentinel) we learned that the contest was determined by subscribers voting on photos of just the facial hair of the contestants. From the Sept. 17, 1954 Republican Watchman: “The winners in each of the eight classes were the following: longest – Henry Stratton; most unique – Norman Bleach; bushiest – Nelson Snyder; grayest – I. Samuel Levine; reddest – Donald Norris; mutton chops – Leon Lashinsky; and longest mustache – Carl Anderson.” Winners were given a Remington electric shaver (courtesy of the Remington company and Crain’s Pharmacy), and two “best beards” were given tickets to the Rocky Marciano - Ezzard Charles fight held Sept. 17, 1954 (Marciano won). Thank you to the Sullivan County Historical Society for access to its archives, and for researching these photos. If anyone can identify the gentleman above, please call our Callicoon office at (845) 887-5200.
