    • Kelly M. Biehn, 67, Held Variety Of Jobs

      Zephyrhills. Fla. (Special)- Funeral services for Kelly M. Biehn, "a man who never sat still very long," were held here Tuesday at Lair's funeral establishment.

      Mr. Biehn, who was 67, died Sunday after a short illness at the Jackson Memorial Hospital, in Dade City, Fla. He had moved to Florida in September of 1971 from Sherwood, Md.

      He was described by a relative as "a man who never sat still very long."

      In Canada

      For a few years Mr. Biehn operated a trucking firm in his native Parry Sound, in Canada's lake country, 400 miles north of Toronto. Later on he served in the Canadian merchant marine, ranging as far as France, Belgium and Germany.

      Shortly after World War II, Mr. Biehn, motivated by a hatred of snow, according to John H. Swann, his son-in-law, began at least partially a gradual trek southward.

      He moved to Bridgeport Conn., where he held several odd jobs before he settled in the Baltimore area. There he was, among other things, a brakeman for the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad in 1954, a maintenance man at the University of Maryland School of Dentistry in 1957, and a property manager for Stackhouse Real Estate for about one year.

      Moved To Shore

      In 1964 he retired and moved to the Eastern Shore. And last year he ended his travels in Florida.

      Mr. Biehn is survived by his wife, the former Marie Par- ker; a son, Dr. John W. Biehn, of Wallingford, Conn.; a daughter, Mrs. Swann of St. Michaels, Md.; two brothers,
