IVAN STEVENS DIES OF HEART ATTACK

Young Winterset Man Is Stricken Fatally at Indianola

Ivan D. Stevens, popularly known as "Jack" Stevens, a well known young man of this community, died suddenly at Indianola last Thursday when he was stricken with a heart attack. He was 33 years of age.

The young man had been visiting here at the home of his mother for about a week, and had started on the return trip to Moline, Ill., where he had lived recently. At Indianola he stopped to call at the Glen Hadley residence. Before he could enter the house he was stricken, and died on the porch.

Mr. Stevens was the son of Warren L. and Ethel Stevens, and was born in this county on Nov. 22, 1908. When he was a small boy the family moved to Winterset, and this town had been his home until two years ago, when he moved to Moline. He served as manager of the Conoco Service station here for several years, and was a member of the Winterset Fire department.

He was married, on Nov. 22, 1938, to Mamie Laizure.

He is survived by his wife; his father and mother, all of Winterset; a brother, Emil E. Stevens, now of the U.S. army corps; and a sister, Mrs. Mildred Greenwood of Winterset.

Funeral services were held Sunday from the Ramsey-Richards funeral home, in charge of the Rev. L. F. Davis. Burial was made in the Winterset cemetery. The pallbearers, members of the Winterset Fire Department, were as follows: Charles Armbrest, Willard Poland, Wayne Newton, Edward Clark, Ralph Shoemaker, William Good, Orville Hess and Fred Searle.
