Services for Harry F. Coleman, 52, 1148 Oakdale Drive, maintenance of way superintendent for the Indiana Service Corporation, who died of a heart ailment behind the wheel of his automobile at South Wayne Avenue and Rudisall Boulevard about 8:30 AM yesterday, will be held at 10:30 AM Thursday at Klaehn & Sons' funeral home with Rev. Charles M. Houser officiating. Interment will be at Rockfield.

Angina pectoris was the cause of death, Dr. C. B. Parker deputy Allen County coroner reported. Coleman was found limp in the front seat of the car by Mrs. James Baker of 1125 Lexington Avenue who summoned aid. Motor Patrol Officers Richard Kelly and Frank Spillner made an investigation of the case.

Having suffered an attack of influenza about two weeks ago, Coleman had been advised by a physician to take an extended rest. Mrs. Baker, driving nearby, saw Coleman's swerving automobile strike a parked machine, then stop.

The heart victim was a member of the Plymouth Congregational church, Home Lodge, F. & A. M. the Scottish Rite and Mizpah Shrine Temple. Surviving are the widow, Mrs. Lela G. Coleman; the mother, Mrs. Sarah E. Coleman; two brothers, Roy and Orville Coleman and a sister, Mrs. Vera Shannon, all of this city. The body may be viewed at the funeral home until the time of the service.
