Looking for Barber

[stumped]

I have just recently been trying to locate my grandfather, Harry Labuff (born 1893 in Worcester)and great-grandfather, ?? Labuff who I believe was a barber in Worcester because I have a photograph of him in a barbershop with two other gentlemen.  Some of the signs on the walls that I can make out advertise businesses on Front Street and Washington Square. I also have a photograph of my grandfather Harry Labuff in front of a panio.  I believe he went to college in Worcester and received some type of musicial degree.  Can any one help me?  Thank you.

Hi,  Some of my LeBuff family lived in the Worcester area in the late 19th Century.  I cannot find anyone with that spelling around there today.  I did find some LaBuffs there, so there may have been a change in the surname spelling after 1880.  Does anyone out there have a clue if this is true?  Does anyone know any LaBuff around Worcester they can put me in contact with?  Thanks.

Hi Dennis:

Thank you so much for responding to my email. This is definitely my greatgrandfather and greatgrandmother.  I just found out that my gr-grandmother's name was Matilda so I guess she went by Tilla.  Also, my grandfather was a pianist.  I don't know what the J stands for.  My email address is egish@cfl.rr.com. I would appreciate very much if you would send me the 1910 census. Thanks again.
