Paul Finney, formerly of Winterset, was stricken with a fatal heart attack Monday, Oct. 25, at his home in Des Moines. His death was sudden, as he had not been ill previously.

Mr. Finney was 41 years of age. He was born in Madison county and spent his early life in Winterset. He graduated from the Winterset high school with the class of 1933.

He captained the team one year.

He was married 21 years ago to Emily Alexander of Winterset. They made their home here for several years after their marriage. In recent years he had been employed at Solar aircraft in Des Moines as an over-seer.

Surviving are his wife; three children, Jim who is a student at Drake University in Des Moines, Judy, aged 10 and Jon, aged 7. He also leaves his mother, Mrs. Maggie Finney of Des Moines.
