Nathan Lee Sheldon's Obituary
Nathan Lee Sheldon aged 94 of Ludington passed away peacefully at his home on Friday, May 20, 2016. He was born on October 22, 1921 in Battle Creek, the son of Clare and Vera (Gould) Sheldon and served his country during WWII with the Army Air Corps.

His greatest joy came in the presence of his family.
