Sudden Death in a Barber Shop

  On Saturday morning Emanuel McGuire, of Braddock, died suddenly in 
Johnstown.  On Christmas morning he arrived in that city with his son 
on a visit to relatives.  On Saturday he went into McCauley's barber 
shop, on Iron street.  He was accompanied by his brother-in-law, 
William Turner.  The chairs were filled and they sat down to wait their 
turn.  Mr. Turner picked up a paper and was reading it when he heard 
McGuire breathing heavily.  He looked at him and noticed that his eyes 
were rolling strangely in their sockets and had an unnatural glare.  He 
made an exclamation at the same time taking McGuire's hand.  The other 
persons in the shop gathered around, a messenger was sent for a 
physician and two responded.  They found the sufferer in a dying 
condition and in five minutes he was dead.  Apoplexy was the cause of 
death.  The deceased was 40 years of age, a widower and leaves eight 
children.
