Sgt. Hanshew was Morgan County's first combat fatality
in Vietnam.

He was struck by Communist small arms fire March 14.
A few days before that he had been injured by shrapnel which
struck him in the arm.

A career soldier, he had served in the U.S. Army since he was
17 years old. He was born in Marion County, then moved with
his family to Morgan County, where he attended Walnut Grove
School and Mooresville High School.

He served two years in the United States and four years in
Germany, before being sent to Vietnam in July. In Germany
he was married to Marguerite Hanshew, who has arrived here
from Halbonn, Germany.

Survivors with the widow are a son, Fred Hanshew III;
the parents, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Hanshew, Hadley Road,
Madison Township; a sister, Mrs. Suzanne Matthews of
Indianapolis; and two grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Claude
Hanshew of Zionsville.

Ed., Obituary above incorrectly lists Fred Hanshew's middle initial
as "A", when it should be "N". Also, Fred's wife's home town in
Germany should most likely read "Heilbronn" not "Halbonn".
