Mrs. Sheila Files, Passes Away
Sheila Files, 30, died at approximately 5 p.m. Tuesday, June, 22 in a house occupied 
by Mr. Robert Keith at K St. and Barstow Rd.
Mr. Keith had seen the deceased in an alley' between J and K Sts. about midnight 
the night before and she had called to him saying she was sick and needed help so he 
took her home having known her previously.	
She was vomiting continuously and he gave her some milk to settle her stomach. 
She finally fell asleep and was still sleeping when he left for work in the morning.
When he arrived home from work she was still in bed and when Keith tried to 
awaken her he couldn't so he called the hospital and Dr. Gish and a nurse, Mrs. 
Jacqueline Baker responded.
. Dr., Gish could find no pulse so he pronounced the woman dead and called the 
sheriff's office. Deputy Nelson answered the call and after completing a report the 
body was removed to O'Donnell's Funeral Home.	.
An inquest will be held today (Thursday) at the O'Donnell, Funeral Home in Mojave 
at 9,:00, a.m. She is survived by her husband, Lennis Files of Boron and four children, 
by a former husband. The body was taken to Oxnard for services and interment by 
O'Donnell ambulance.
