FILE PHOTO BY DIANA HARRIS Dr. John Flower, Englewood's first dentist, remembered having a lot of fish dinners when he first came to town in the 1950s. Many of his patients paid him in fish since bartering was a way of life here then. Right: Josephine Cortes was the prime mover in helping establish the Charlotte Library. She was also the editor of the community's first newspaper and the orig- inator of Pioneer Days.
