Elton F. Kallien, the only child of Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Kallien, Milan, was born July 28, 1928, at Marshfield. Until six years ago, the family lived on a farm near Milan and then moved to the village. Elton attended the Dixon school and then the Abbotsford high school, from where he was graduated in 1946. While attending high school, he took part in music and athletics and distinguished himself in baseball. 
 

He recently graduated from River Falls State College and was to have started teaching in a rural school near New Richmond on Monday. During the past summer he was employed on a highway project and had planned to spend this week end at his home.  
 

He is survived by his parents.
