"Dies After Shave By Lady Barber - Heart Attack Is Blamed for the Death of Homer Stuart. Homer Stuart, 36, Yale Hotel, employed at Idle Hour Pool Hall, died suddenly Saturday afternoon while seated in a barber chair at N228 1/2 Stevens, just as the woman barber had completed shaving him. Stuart did not appear sick, Grace Van Auken, one of the woman barbers at the place, said. She worked over him and removed the stubble and as she was putting on the finishing touches Stuart suddenly collapsed. The emergency hospital and police were called, but the dying man expired as Steward P.C. Milburn arrived. Dr. T.C. Barnhart, coroner, was notified, and said he thought a heart attack was the cause of death. The body was sent to the Mission Funeral Home. Mrs. Van Auken said that the man had been a regular customer of the shop for more than a year. She had come to regard him as a friend but never learned his name. 'There's just one man who might be able to disclose his name,' the woman said, 'A Mr. Miller, who came in and spoke to him one night. He seemed a particularly solitary person. I've seen him on the street downtown many times, but he was always alone. He never said more than that he wanted a haircut or a shave.' Identification of Stuart was not made by the police until late Saturday night. His mother lives at Altamont, Kan."
