Edward Pleasant, one of the best-known colored barbers in Canonsburg, died suddenly shortly after 7 o'clock last evening, in the barber shop of George Miller, South Canonsburg, where he had been employed for the past two weeks. His death was due to heart disease.
Pleasant had made Canonsburg his home for the past twenty years, and had been employed at different times at the several barber shops in town. He was a native of Tyrone, Blair county, and was born about 49 years ago. Last evening about 7 o'clock he was seized with a shortness of breath, and requested his employer, George Miller, to go over into town and procure him some medicine. Miller at once ed for the medicine, but when he returned, twenty minutes later, Pleasant was dead. He died sitting in a chair in the barber shop, and there was no one present when dissolution took place.
The remains were later removed to the undertaking rooms of McNary & Vance and prepared for burial. Coroner Sipe viewed the remains and will make a return of death from natural causes.
Pleasant enjoyed the reputation of being one or the best barbers that ever wielded a razor in Canonsburg and there were patrons of the shops where he was employed that would allow no other barber to shave them. Like his name, he was pleasant, and had numerous friends among both white and colored people. He was his worst enemy, and frequently indulged heavily in the cup that both inebriates and cheers.
He was unmarried. A married sister lives in Philadelphia, and other relatives reside about Pittsburg. W. G. Robinson of Beaver Falls, formerly engaged in the hotel business here, is an uncle of the deceased.
