Iowa State Area Townsend Manager Dies Unexpectedly

Cleveland O. Crowningshield, 54, Iowa state area manager for the Townsend old age pension plan, died unexpectedly at Rochester, Minn., Friday, relatives in Des Moines said. Crowningshield had gone to Rochester from Des Moines Friday morning to be examined at the Mayo clinic there. Relatives were advised he suffered a heart attack and died shortly after.

Born in Brooklyn, Iowa, Mr. Crowningshield was engaged in the insurance business before becoming affiliated with the Townsend plan. He went to Des Moines from Sioux City last May.

He is survived by his wife, Alma; a son, B.R. Crowningshield, Marcus, Iowa, a daughter, Mrs. Donald Tucker, Minneapolis, Minn., and a sister, Mrs. Ethleen McNeill, Los Angeles, Cal.

Mr. Crowningshield was well known to a number of LeMars people, where he visited a number of times, and was here a few days ago on his way to visit his son in Marcus.
