Geo. W. Shively Suicides

In A Mood Of Worriment And Despondency He Commits The Rash And Lamentable Act

Mifflinburg Telegraph

Mr. George W. Shively, who resides with his family on the Amos Groff farm in West Buffalo township, suicided on last Tuesday morning but cutting his throat.

It seems that he had been despondent of late, worrying not a little, and in a mood of this nature he quit the house, saying he would go and feed the pigs. Not returning, his son Clarence went to the pig pen, where he found his father, life extinct, this at about 7:30 a.m.  He had cut the arteries of his throat with his pocket knife, bleeding to death in a few minutes.

Deceased was a son of the late Christian Shively, and was born in Limestone Twp. He was a famer by occupation, and by all was regarded as a good, honest, upright citizen.

Besides his wife, he leaves the following children: Galen L. of West Buffalo; Elmer E. of Watsontown; Laird of Tiro, O.; Clarence, residing at home; Annie, wife of Clayton Troxell of White Springs; Artisimus, wife of Lewis Gemberling, of Snyder Co.; and Bertha of Philadelphia; also the following brothers and sisters; Thomas M., of Limestone Township; Henry and Abner of Mifflinburg; Amanda, and Ada, wife of Jno. Dreibelbis of Wis.; Mrs. Anna Strickler and Caroline, wife of Mr. Henry Swineford of Mifflinburg.

Suicide Near Vicksburg On Tuesday

George W. Shively Ends His Life By Severing The Jugular Vein

The community near Vicksburg was greatly shocked on Tuesday morning by the startling intelligence of the suicide of George W. Shively, on the Amos Grove farm, north of Vicksburg, by stabbing himself in the neck, severing the jugular vein, death ensuing in a very short time.

Mr. Shively was a well-to-do farmer of that section, and his desparate act was a great surprise to his friends in the community. On Tuesday morning he got up as usual with the family and assisted about the house in doing some chores. Beween six and seven o'clock he said he would go to the hog pen to feed the hogs. Some time elapsed before the family missed him, he not returning as soon as expected, and his son went to the hog pen to learn what had kept his fahter there so long. In one of the stalls a gruesome sight met the gaze of the son. The father was lying in a pool of blood and lifeless. With a pen knife Mr. Shively had stabbed himself five times in the neck, striking the jugular vein, and death soon resulted. Life had been extinct several minutes when he was discovered by the son.

Mr. Shively was aged over sixty years, and it is supposed that he committed the deed while laboring under a severe spell of melancholy. Last summer while working on the road he suffered a sun stroke, which affected him, and since then he was not himself. He was greatly worried also over quitting farming in the spring, all imaginary and without cause.

He leaves a family of a wife, four sons and three daughters. The funeral will take place this morning from the home of the deceased near Vicksburg. Interment will be made in the Dunkard cemetery west of Mifflinburg.

Located in the Lewisburg Journal, Lewisburg, Pennsylvania, Friday, November 13, 1908, Page 4 is the following:

Antique Buff Loves Collection

By Judy Shoemaker

Staff Writer

Mrs. John (Daisy) Shively, is the proud possessor of a survey map of a Kentucky county, signed by the pen of none other that Daniel Boone, dated 1782. 

"My husband isn't quite the antique buff I am," Mrs. Shively smiled. Her husband owns the Shively Trucking Co. The couple reside in their new home of one month at 16 Rob Roy, Ft. Thomas.

They have one daughter, Sue Ellen, 11.

"My first cousin, Mrs. Elizabeth Miller of Cythiana, first discovered the Daniel Boone survey map. It might be a map of Harrison County or Bourbon County. We aren't sure.

"She was looking through my grandfather's trunk when she found it. I've kept it framed," Mrs. Shively said.

Her grandfather, George Cox Phillips, born in Bristol, England, in 1819, came to Kentucky in 1827.

Mrs. Shively has letters written by her grandfather to his relatives in England. Mrs. Shively read parts of one letter. "We have no silken chords or musical instruments about us better than a five-cent juice harp....we live in a rough log cabin with strong oaken floor, no soft costly carpet, but our dry winter wood blazes cheerily on  a big hearth. No landlord ever calls....." Mrs. Shively's grandfather added.

Mrs. Daisy Shively's father, a farmer, was born when his dad, George Phillips, was 62. Daisy was born when her dad was 65.  "My mother was 18 years younger than my father," Mrs. Shively said.

Mrs. Shively said, "About six years ago I became interested in antiques and found some interesting ones in my grandfather's trunk."

She displayed an 1870 "Old Blue Book Speller," wool cords that dated to Civil War days, a wood carved German whistling man statue which has a bellows in it and even a flat iron from Civil War days.

Other antique favorites include picture post cards from 1900, "my father's vest, one he wore at age two," and 1865 sugar bowl, a psalm book and scrapbook from the turn of the century.

Mrs. Shively, member of First Baptist Church, Ft. Thomas, and Eventide Homemakers, continued reading her grandfather's letter to relatives he left in England.

"Well, let me brag and you too, as you sip your maderia wine while I take a snort of Kentucky whisky."

History In A Trunk

Woman's Paper Tells Of Boone's Survey

By John Harris

Staff Correspondent

CYNTHIANA, KY.; Christopher McConnico was a big land owner in these parts 180 years ago. He owned 14,137 acres on the Main Licking River in what is now Harrison and Bourbon counties--but which was Fayette County at that time.

Little else is known about Mr. McConnico. There is no information on the gentleman among old records at Harrison County Courthouse.

Knowledge of his vast holdings in 1786 comes from a copy of an old survey in the possession of Mrs. John Shively, 16 Rob Roy, Ft. Thomas.

Found In Trunk

Mrs. Shively obtained the ancient document from her mother, who in turn had found it among papers in an old trunk, owned by Mrs. Shively's grandfather. Mrs. Shively still has the old trunk in which the document was found.

George Cox Phillips, her grandfather, died in 1889. "I can find no connection between my grandfather and Mr. McConnico and I have no idea why he had the copy of the survey in his trunk," Mrs. Shively says.

A comparison of the plat with an aerial map of central Kentucky indicates the land area probably is located between the South Licking and the Main Licking Rivres.

Dan Boone On List

Another interesting aspect of the tattered and yellow document is that is lists Daniel Boone as one of those making the survey.

This may have well been the famous Kentucky pioneer who established Boonesboro in Madison County and fought the Indians in the area.

14,137 Acres Surveyed

History reveals that Boone was in Kentucky until 1788 when he left for West Virginia after being forced to abandon his claims to land around Boonesboro because of invalid titles........

Fee-----Two Bits

On the back of the document was the following: "Copy survey, Grant 20th February 1788, examined. Fee 25 cents."

Mrs. Shively's grandfather, in whose trunk the survey was found, came to the U.S. in 1821, settling in Cincinnati, where he was employed by the wealthy Nicholas Longworth.

He later moved to Bourbon County where he worked digging ponds. During this time he married a Harrison County soman and bought a farm there.

"I would be interested in any information your readers can giver concerning McConnico," Mrs. Shively said. 

John Burris Shively was the son of Robert Earl Shively who was born on 24-Mar-1885 in Adams County, OH and died on 18-Apr-1954 in Cincinnati, Hamilton County, OH and Anna Pearl Burriss (1887-1914). Robert Earl Shively was the son of James Henry Shively who was born 18-Jan-1861 in Adams County, OH and died 5-Feb-1905 in Harnersville, Brown County, OH and Mary Franklin Brown (1861-1936).  James Henry Shively was the son of Jacob Shiveley (1815-1868) and Elinor Ann Hornback Smith (1819-1880).

The newspaper obituary for Lillie Wales first husband, John Flynn, was located in The Bremen Enquirer, Bremen, Indana, Friday, June 1, 1900, Page 5, Column 4:

John Flynn, a prominent farmer living several miles south of Argos, in Fulton County, was struck and instantly killed by lightning Sunday afternoon. He had returned from church and was leaning on a barbed wire fence. The lightning first struck a telephone wire and then glanced to the barbed wire fence and killed Mr. Flynn.. His daughter at his side was knocked unconscious.

Burial Of The Victim

Mrs. Orata Price Will Be Taken To South Bend

The funeral services for Mrs. Orata Price, the hapless victim of the Sunday night tragedy at Bertrand will be held at the humble home of the Price's Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock. The remains will then be taken to South Bend where further services will be held at Beulah Chapel at one o'clock, followed by interment at Riverview cemetery.

Mrs. Price was a daughter of John G. Flinn, who was killed at Rochester, Ind., 10 years ago by a stroke of lightning. His widow remarried J L Shively and lives just a short distance from where the death of her daughter occurred.

The deceased was born Jan. 24, 1889. She is a granddaughter of Rev. and Mrs. J. A. Wales of Arden, Mich, the former at one time being the pastor of Beulah chapel.

The life of Price seems to be marked with misfortune. He was married Dec. 27, 1906, and since that time he has buried two children who died during infancy.

While employed at the Singer factory, his right hand accidentally became entangled in a machine and he lost all his fingers with the exception of the thumb.

Recently he began doing cement contracting work and that he might reduce his expenses to a minimum he bought a small strip of ground near Bertrand where he built a small frame house scarcely 20 feet square. While the little home is only sparcely furnished it showed that care had been taken of it by the young woman who presided over it who was taken from him so ruthlessly.

ED ENTERPRISE:--A party of Ferndale gentlemen visited Scotia one day last week and had the great pleasure of viewing the redwoods and taking a short trip on Capt Harris' new steamer Ruth, piloted by Mr. Dan Shively. She is a pretty and staunch little craft, power being furnished by a gas engine manufactured by the Union Gas Engine Co, San Francisco. She makes head way against the current at the rate of three miles an hour, covering the entire distance between Stotia and Dyerville in about seven hours, and returning in less than two hours. She rides very smoothly and the machinery does not jar the boat in the least, nor make scarcely any noise. Her cargo the day of our trip consisted of three tons of freight, in addition to quite a list of passengers. Capt Harris is well pleased with his investment and feels sanguine of success. He informed us that he expected to be able to navigate Eel river as far up as the Robinson mill on the South Fork during every winter, and in summer would bring his boat down to the lower river and do service hereabouts. The little craft is 30 feet in length, has 11 feet beam, and draws an average of 18 inches. Her cost complete landed at Scotia was $3,000. If you think these few lines are worth publishing please give them a place in your much valued paper. Respectfully: PLEASURE-SEEKERS

Last Sunday, during a quarrel at Rio Dell, Dan Shively was quite badly cut about the face by John Pascoe. The wounds are not serious. We are informed that bad blood has existed between the two for some time. --Oracle

The particulars of the Pascoe-Shively trouble at Rio Dell are given by the Rohnerville Herald as follows: "Dan Shively of Pepperwood and John  Pascoe of Bear river indulged in a social cutting scrape in Jim Berry's saloon at Rio Dell last Saturday night. It seems that Pascoe was going to have Shiveley arrested last fall but for some reason he failed to do so and bad blood has existed between the two ever since. Last Saturday night they met at Rio Dell, Pascoe pulled out his knife and cut Shively in the right cheek and under the left arm, the knife striking a bone and glancing off. Neither of the wounds were dangerous.

Dan Shively and wife of Pepperwood, publicly deny that the late trouble beween them at the Revere House, Eureka, was over the wife's attention to another man.

A Grand Surprise

Mr. Henry Shively, on of Merrick County's pioneers, was made the victim of one of the grandest and most successful surprises ever given in honor of one of her citizens. On Saturday morning Mr. S., after doing his chores, concluded to haul some hay. After arriving on the meadow and having part of a load on he observed a team turning in at his place of residence, at which he remarked to his helper that he guessed his neighbor was returning his fanning mill, but the people continued to pour in until the house was filled to its capacity, numbering about sixty persons, and not until the arrival of about half that number did he realize that is was in honor of his fifty-sixth birthday, making him fifty-five years old. After he had arrived with his load of hay the assembled multitude were in readiness to extend the hand of fellowship and regard. Great credit is due the host and hostess for the becoming reception and the efforts made to make the company comfortable and pleasant. The time was whiled away by the guests in discussing the merits of the host until dinner, at which time ye editor should have happened around. For those cakes, to the eye were "daisies", to the palate delicious, and to the parties who prepared them a great credit. And the chicken pie and other meats were palatable to an almost undesirable extent, and those delicacies -- well, we will let you imagine -- you know what they are. Concluding dinner the company (as many as could) occupied the larger room, at which time a handsome cash present was made the host as a token of the esteem and regard in which he is held by the pioneers of Clarksville and Mead precincts.  Esquire McGath was chosen was the one who should bestow the present and did so in a very commendable manner by offering a neat speech of good sentiment and well-selected words. Appropriate remarks were made by others who were present. Credit for the success of this grand reunion of pioneers is due the following, viz.: Mr. and Mrs. Benny Rose, Mr. and Mrs. Schrawger, Mr. and Mrs. Scudder, Mr. P.  L. Raynor, and Mr. Jas. Baird.

In conclusion we would say a general good time was had, which to describe in full would require too much space in your valuable columns and make every body wish his neighbor was made up of such men as Henry Shively.

News From Ashland, Oregon

Ashland, Ore., Oct. 27, Central City Record:-- I left Central City the 14th at night; nothing important to Laramie, which is a very nice looking city. I did not stop but twenty minutes; went to Granger, then took the Oregon Short Line.

Wyoming is a mountainous county. I did not see any level country until I struck Idaho, but there nothing grows but sage brush. Nice looking land and where they irrigate raise big crops of alfalfa. The land costs $35.50 an acre, with ten years to pay for it. When that country is settled it will be a nice country.

We came into Oregon along the Umatilla river. Can't see much for the mountains. We followed the river down to Portland and at 7 p.m. I took the Southern Pacific for Ashland. We went over the mountains into Gage Valley at 9 a.m. Central Point is 325 miles from Portland, elevation 1290. This is one of the greatest fruit countries I ever saw. Hemmed in by mountains a mile high they say it never freezes hard enough to freeze potatoes in the ground.

I have stopped on Neal Creek, seven miles south of Ashland. Work is plenty. A good place for wood chopping, as it is a lumber country. They have saw mills up in the mountains and run the lumber down in flumes to the railroad. I guess II had better stop by saying good bye to all my friends.

                                                                            Yours truly,

Mr. Henry Shively returned Saturday from Washington, where he has been visiting his daughter, Mrs. McGath, for about a year and a half. Mr. Shively says that after coming down through eastern Washington, Idaho and Wyoming, Nebraska looked mighty good to him. He says that they raise good wheat and oats and some fruit where his daughter lives, but not much else. They cannot irrigate and have to depend upon nautral rainfall only, which is scanty after the spring season. He thinks he prefers Nebraskt as a place to live.
