Prince A. Brewster

Norwich [Chenango Co., NY]:  Death came suddenly to Prince A. Brewster, the well-known barber on Sunday morning.  Mr. Brewster stood talking with a friend on Lackawanna avenue, apparently in his usual cheerful spirits, when suddenly, with a sharp cry, he placed his hand over his heart and fell backward.  The friend sought to assist him and found that he was dead.  Neuralgia of the heart was the cause assigned by the physician who was hastily summoned.  Mr. Brewster was born in Brookfield [Madison Co., NY]about 60 years ago, but his home had been in Norwich for nearly half a century.  For the past 30 years he had conducted a barber shop, his last location being on Lackawanna avenue.  Funeral services were held from the A.M.E. Zion Church on Wednesday afternoon, the pastor, Rev. W.B. Caines, officiating.  Interment was made in Mount Hope Cemetery [Norwich, NY].  Two sisters survive, Mrs. Benjamin Tillett and Mrs. Loren Rogers, both of Norwich.  A wife and a married daughter, Mrs. Daisy Wagner, also survive, residing in Oneida.
