B.F. SHELINE, A FORMER GRINNELL RESIDENT, DIES

Rev. B.F. Sheline, of University Park, former Grinnell resident, died suddenly at his home Tuesday morning as the result of a heart attack. Arrangements for funeral services are pending word from his daughter, Mrs. Herbert Hester, who lives in California. If Mrs. Hester is unable to come the funeral will probably be held at 2:30 Friday afternoon in Oskaloosa.

Mr. Sheline was for many years a well known carpenter and contractor in Grinnell. He later became a minister of the Nazarene church. He was an uncle of Mrs. Lawrence Ballard and a brother-in-law of Mrs. May Fleener and Mrs. *Judd Gilbert of this city.
