Obituary
John H. Sandelin was born January 10, 1924 in Garfield, KS, to the late John Anshelm and Alma Agnetta (Nelson) Sandelin. He passed away Thursday, July 8, 2010 in Omaha, NE at the age of 86.
He graduated from Garfield High School and later attended Wichita State and Fort Hays State Universities. He entered into the US Army on April 3, 1945 and served with the 44th Tank Battalion in Japan. He was honorably discharged November 28, 1946.
On November 9, 1948, John was united in marriage to Marguerite Jean LaRue in the Hays Presbyterian Church. Together they farmed and raised cattle in rural Trego County.

He participated on the Trego Lemke Advisory Board and held two terms on the FFA Advisory Board, all in WaKeeney, KS, and was a member of the Zion Lutheran Church in Omaha, NE.
