William H. Coleman, 58, co-owner of the Belding tool and Machine company, died 
suddenly of a heart attack while attending a machine and tool exposition in 
Chicago Wednesday.

He was a native of Shattuck Falls, Vt., but had lived in Belding for 30 
years.  He married Pearl Clark October 10, 1922.  He served in the army in the 
Philippine Islands and in World War I.  He was a reserve officer and vice-
president and director of the Belding Sportsmen club.

Surviving are the wife; five daughters, Mrs. Delos Mills of Belding, Mrs. 
Wilford Shawley of Belding, and Lorraine, Jannette and Judy at home; four 
sons, Nathan who is stationed in Nurenburg, Germany with the army of 
occupation, Kenneth, Richard and James at home; two sisters, Mrs. Omar 
Williamson of Norwalk, Conn., and Mrs. Percy Traver of Beacon, N.Y., seven 
brothers, Joe and James of Jonesville, Vt., Fred of Reedsboro, Vt., Charles of 
Fishkal, N.Y., Edward of Norwalk, Conn., and John and George of Leomister, 
Mass.

The body arrived in Grand Rapids Thursday evening by train and was taken to 
the Fales-Huffman funeral home in Belding.  The time of service has not been
