Death Came Quickly
Peter Shively, of Frankford Township, Dies Quite Suddenly
The citizens of Frankford township were greatly shocked last evening to learn that Mr. Peter Shively, on of their most highly respected citizens, had died quite suddenly at 5 o'clock.
Mr. Shively resides near the Stone Church and has been in declining health.
The suddenness of the sad and entirely unexpected demise occasioned a great shock to the family and cast a gloom over the entire community. Mr. Shively was aged about 68 years and had engaged at farming until recent years when his failing health compelled him to relinquish many of the arduous duties of farm life. He was a man who was held in high esteem by a large circle of acquaintances because of his thrift and integrity. When the civil war began he risked his life in defense of national honor and served with distinguished gallantry in Co. F, 209th Penna. Vols. He was identified with Capt. Colwell Post, 201, GAR, of this place. The deceased was a member of the Church of the Friendly Brethren.
As a husband and father he displayed much loving devotion and his place in the family circle will be sadly missed.
He is survived by his wife and one daughter, Mrs. Joseph F. Bixler, of Washington, D.C., who was visiting her parents at the time. A brother, David, resides in Perry county.
The following was extracted from The Valley TImes-Star, Newville, Pennsylvania, Thursday, March 10, 1910, Page 8, Column 3:
Mrs. Lucinda Shively, a resident of this place, died in Washington at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Joseph Bixler, where she spent some of her time. The remains will be brought here for interment on Wednesday, from her home in Frankford. Interment at the Frankford Stone Church cemetery. She was a kind and loving mother and a kind neighbor.
