HARRY WASTUN WAS FOUND DEAD IN BED

Harry Wastun, 75, of this place was found dead in his home Sunday after neighbors had seen no one moving about the home for several days.

County coroner, Dr. William R. Bliss, was called to the scene after the home was opened and the Story City man found dead. The coroner termed the cause of death a coronary occlusion. Death was set at some time Thursday.

Born in Roland, Mr. Wastun had lived all his life in the Story City community. Survivors include two brothers and a sister, Elmer of Des Moines, Andre of Omaha, and Mrs. Ada Brekke of Blue Earth, Minn.

Graveside services were Monday in the Story City cemetery with the Rev. Harod T. Masted officiating.
