Jerry Pasho operated a shaving parlor and smoke shop at 33 Main Street, across the street from the Harrietstown Town Hall. The plate glass window at the front of his shop was cracked by the intense heat from the fire when the town hall burned to the ground, July 25, 1926.
He was one of 18 children of Maxime and Philomena Pasho of Keeseville. He served as Harrietstown town clerk.
He was a member of the Men's Social Club, the Elks Club and the Knights of Columbus.
He is buried in Harrietstown Cemetery.

Doctor Pays Double To Have His Hair Cut
Dr. F. B. Trudeau, secretary of the board of trustees of Trudeau sanitarium, paid double for a haircut Tuesday—the 121st time he has done that in 20 years. Dr. Trudeau, son of the late Dr. Edward L. Trudeau, founder of the sanitarium, was celebrating an anniversary. For 20 years, once a month, Jerry Pasho has cut his hair. At the start they agreed to toss a coin before each tonsorial ministration—"double or nothing." If Dr. Trudeau had won today, they would have been even on the 250th haircut. But Pasho won and became one up, for he has had to cut the tuberculosis specialist's hair without charge only 119 times.
