CROWNINGSHIELD
			Athletic Coach Stricken Sunday

Bernard Crowningshield, junior varsity football and baseball coach at Coalinga
junior high, died Sunday of a heart attack.  He was 57.

The attack came shortly before noon while he was watching television.

Crowningshield, who had been a physical education instructor here the past
eight years, had suffered two previous attacks.

The last was a month ago when he was hospitalized for three weeks.  His first
attack, in 1957, incapacitated him for three months.

Born in South Dakota, Crowningshield was a graduate of the University of
Illinois and had been teaching for 31 years.  He took on his coaching
assignments here three years ago.  He was interred at his former home of
Wayzatta, Minn., where he taught at the high school eight years before coming
to Coalinga.

Rosary service was held at the Adcock-Bragg mortuary parlor Monday evening
with funeral mass conducted by the Rev. Patrick Reilly of St. Paul's church
Tuesday morning. Pall-bearers were N.W. Blanchard III, George Olsen, Cledith
Bourdeau, Ron Eastman, Lloyd Gayman and Arthur Wolzmuth.

He is survived by his widow, Helen, and two sons, John David and Cleve
Bernard, all of Coalinga; a daughter, Sister Helen Bernard, CSJ, of
Minneapolis; a sister, Mr. Donald Tucker, also of Minneapolis, and a
step-mother, Mrs. Alma Crowningshield, of Bell, Calif.
