                               The Civil War Through The Eyes Of A Ross Countian

                                                                           by Pat Medert

An archivist for the Ross County Historical Society, I have just completed transcribing and editing the Civil war letters and Journal of Jacob Shively, who served in the 89th Regiment O. V. 1. The Society has published them under the title of "Dear Companion - Yours until death."

Shively, leaving behind a wife and two children to manage the farm in Union Township in Ross County, enlisted in August 1862 at the time of the organization of the 89th at Camp Dennison. He was promoted to corporal in April 1863 and to sergeant shortly thereafter. In January 1864, Jacob was appointed the color sergeant of the regiment.

Shively's letters are written to his wife Mary, whom he usually addressed, "Dear Companion: and often closed with "Yours until death." They are full of details about the regiment's movements, camp life, battles, hardships, and descriptions of the towns and countryside through which he passed. Jacob had a good grasp of the English language and expressed himself well; however, he lacked spelling and grammar skills. The manuscripts have been transcribed for the most part as he wrote them.

The 89th served first in western Virginia. In January 1863, it was sent to Nashville (Tenn.) to join Gen. William Rosecrans, who commanded the Army of the Cumberland. Among the battles in which the regiment fought were Hoover's Gap,, Chickamauga, Chattanooga, Mission Ridge, Resaca,Dallas, Kenesaw Mountain, Peachtree Creek, Jonesboro, Savannah and Bentonville. It took part in the Tullahoma Campaign, the 89th lost half its men - killed, wounded or captured. Shively received a slight wound near his left eye in that battle, but he fortunately escaped captivity.

The deprivations and horrors of war, as well as the incidents of courage and expressions of patriotism are especially evident in the letters written during the summer and fall of 1864 as the troops fought their way east to lay siege to Atlanta. On July 2, Jacob wrote from Marietta, Ga., "We have been out from Ringgold 57 days, marching part of the time day and night, through dust and scorching heat or through mud and rain, lying, on damp ground or mud. Fighting or fortifying day and night. Loosing a great deal of sleep and we have been living on much less rations than we usually get in camp....we do not get any sope. I never felt the nead of a thorough good washing in my life before. My clothes are sour and dirty. I have about two shirts and one pair of pants. I shift my shirts as often as I can and try to wash them in branches or rivers as I get a chance but to wash in cold water without soap it amounts to but little."

In the same letter, he described how the advancing army positioned itself and erected its earthworks. "We have three lines of works. The first and second in front are about 100 yds apart. The 3d is about 300 to 400 yds in the rear. The line we occupy is built as follow. We first put up a wall of logs about six feet high by placeing one upon another and braceing them up well. We then threw up dirt on the outer or front side until it was as high as the logs and from 6 to 7 feet wide on top and on the top of this we have placed a heavy log just high enough for use to shoot under it. This is the kind of works we have been building all along the rout from Ringgold to here."

On July 21, Jacob wrote following a skirmish with the rebels, saying it ended with "the painful result of getting one man killed and Lieut Scott and one man slightly wounded. Scott has since had his left hand amputatedd. He is as fine and as promisceing a young man as our regt had. He was taken prisoner at Chickamauga and escaped from Libby with Capt Adams, and yesterday he was on the line at his post. He first had a shot through his hat, and afterwards was wounded in the face but did not attempt to leave until got a shot through his wrist."

Jacob had great confidence in Gen. Sherman. He wrote, "He (Sherman) has conducted his campaign so far on such a shure principle and with so small a loss that it tells plain enough what he is. His plan is a slow one but he has never retrace a stop since he started but he moves on after Reb Jonson like a couple of chain carryers measuring a line crying out Stick, Stuck, substituting breastworks for pins and shots for words. After Atlanta was taken, Jacob related, "... it would have been almost impossible for any force to have taken it by storm and we all think that too much honor and praise cannot be given to Gen. W. T. Sherman for the skill and injunuity displayed at the same time almost anihilating the rebel army."

Shively never had any doubts in the cause for which he fought. On Aug. 1, he noted he still had a year to serve of this three-year enlistment and the chances of his returning home were not good - there was only 19 of his company left present for duty. He said, "Perhaps it would have been worse for me and you also if I had stayed at home not volunteered as I did. I might have been drafted and if I had escaped entirely I always would have had a guilty conscience. I would have felt as if I had not done my duty and been looked upon in the future as being no better than a traitor."

Extracted from the Greeley Graphic, Greeley, Kansas, Friday, February 22, 1895, Page 1, Column 5 is the following:

Editor of Lane Graphic:

In fulfillment of a promise made to many friends of the late Henry Shively, I furnish you this tribute of respect to his memory:

Henry Shively was born in Kentucky nearly seventy-five years ago. In early life, with his father's family he came to western Missouri, where he was residing when the border ruffian war was fought. With that class of men he was a marked man, and the wonder is that during those days he was not murdered. He was saved from bullets of those trained murders and mauraders, and in the spring of 1857 he bade good-bye to Missouri and took up his line of march for Kansas. He chose for his future home, the spot on the south bank of the Marais des Cygne, where he so recently laid down the burdens of life.

When Sumpter was assaulted he was ready for the defense of the nation, and at that early day in the long and bloody struggle, he advocated the unconditional emancipation of slaves - the direct cause of the war. Early in 1861 a desultory warfare was precipitated upon the Missouri and Kansas state line. The dormant border ruffian spirit was rejuvinated. Shively responded to the call for men to protect the homes of Kansans living near to and along the line and of the progress of that warfare he kept constant watch until the 25 of August, 1862, when he formally enlisted for three years or during the war.

The company which he joined was lettered "D" and was assigned to the 12th Kansas Infantry. He was chosen first lieutenant and was with the company and regiment mustered into the services by Major T. J. Weed, at Paola, Kansas, September 25, 1862. Shortly after muster in of the regiment, General McKean, then in command of the District of the Border, ordered Col. Adams to detail a suitable officer, who should make choice of 40 men of the regiment to act as mounted infantry, to scout along and protect the eastern border of the state from incursions of the baser element of Missourians. Col. Adams detailed Lieut. Shively for that duty, and right royally did he do the duty assigned him.

The writer went with him often on many scouts necessary and at no time did he ever see him in the least excited or disconcerted. No matter how critical the situation he preserved the same calm, unruffled front. All orders were given with a deliberation and calmness characteristic of the man as our citizens have known him since the war. During the exhausting campaigns of 1863 and 1864 his health was shattered, and in the fall of 1864, he resigned his commission and returned to his old home on the Marias des Cygnes, from whence he was so recently carried and laid to rest to await the great reivelle. In can be said of him as truthfully as was ever said of any man: "He was a brave man".

A good citizen, a brave soldier, a kind neighbor, a Christian gentleman, a godlike nobleman has gone to rest. Oh, that all men would emulate his example and thereby make the world better...-Lane Graphic                                      Wm. H. Ambrose

PIONEER BIOGRAPHY

An interesting sketch of the life of George Shively, of Austintown

By John M. Edwards

Editors Register & Tribune:

At the last pioneer reunion the subject of collecting biographies of the pioneers and early settlers was frequently spoken of, but no definate plan adopted to obtain them. This is very desirable, and if some one or more in each township, hand with the pen, would visit the veterans and the children & neighbors of those who have passed away, and take notes of the histories they could relate, a very valuable amount of historical & biographical information can be collected. Will our friends in the Valley do this, and report to me, or any other officer of the Mahoning Valley Historical Society, the result of their labors, for publication & preservation among our records. We have already some valuable biographies & desire all that we can obtain.

Enjoying an interview with a venerable & highly respected pioneer of a neighboring township, a few days since, I noted down some facts on his life as he related them & herewith present them:

Biography of George Shibely

George Shibely, of Austintown, was born in Tyrone township, Cumberland County (now Perry County) Pennsylvania, November 8, 1798. He came with his parents to Austintown, Trumbull County (now Mahoning County) Ohio in May, 1812, passing through Youngstown, which then consisted of only a few log cabins on each side of the main street, and grass was growing in the streets. The family came in a big wagon drawn by a four-horse team.

       His father’s name was Frederick Shibely, after whom Frederick S. Whitsler, of Youngstown, a son of one of his daughters in named. He died at the age of 56 years. George’s mother died at the age of 63 years. Frederick Shibely bought a tract of land on the “Racoon Road”, as it is called, in the east part of Austintown, on which George now lives, and to which he has made some additions. The land at that time was all woods, and the father & son immediately went to work & cleared up a farm. Frederick and wife had eleven children - six sons & five daughters - who all lived to adult age. Four have died; the rest are living.

George married Elizabeth Opp in Austintown, by whom he had two children. She only lived a few years after the marriage. He married for his second wife Maria Grove, of Austintown, daughter of Wendall Grove, a revolutionary soldier; & sister of John & Andrew Grove. By her he had six children. The 8th - 4 sons & 4 daughters - are all grown up & married. He recollects the events of his early life and the conditions of the country and manners of the people then.

He says the early settlers were very accommodating and always ready to help one another. They always went to log cabin & other raisings, on which occasions whiskey was plenty as water; and was considered indispensable. He speaks of one instance in which the man who had united his neighbors to help him raise, refused to furnish whiskey and found it difficult to get his cabin up. He was well acquainted with Judge Tod, Colonel Hillman, James Mackey, Colonel Rayen and the old citizens of Youngstown. He saw Colonel Rayen in his uniform in command of his regiment, when he had them ready to march to the frontier in the fall of 1812, and says the Colonel was a fine looking man.

This old pioneer, now in his 82nd year, was never sick but once, which was about 40 years ago. Packard attended him. Mr. Shibely was afraid he would not get well. Dr. Packard assured him that he would recover & that he might perhaps live twenty years longer. “And now”, he says, “I have lived forty years longer, and nothing ails me but old age”.

The old gentleman has frequently visited Youngstown this winter on business.

Powder Works Go Up

Packing House Of Anthony Powder Co. Wrecked And Two Men Killed

The people of Ishpeming and Negaunee were startled yesterday at 4 o'clock by the noise of an explosion, when the packing house at the Anthony Powder company's works, located between the two cities, was blown up. Many windows were shattered in the business portion of Ishpeming as well as at other places. Within a minute or so after the explosion hundreds of persons were on the run toward the works. Teams were driven down in haste and the wildest kind of excitement prevailed for a time.

Two of the workmen were killed their bodies being torn to atoms. The victims are John Nelson and Linus Shively. The head of one of the men was picked up about two hundred feet from the building.

The structure burned to the ground. Some of the buildings near the packing house were badly twisted by the force of the explosion. The engine house was almost completely wrecked. Reuben Smith, a lad almost seventeen years of age, was in the engine house when the explosion occurred. He escaped with but a slight scalp wound. Two other boys, Nelson Wallenstine and Victor Nelson, both the same age as Smith also got away unhurt.

No one can tell just what caused the disaster, but it is supposed that the glycerine got a jar of some sort as the men were engaged in filling the caps. There was about a ton and a half of giant powder in the building and it all went off.

No attempt was made to put out the fire as it was not any too safe to go near it, owing to explosives being stored in the buildings near by.

The home of Charles Ruska, night patrolman at the works, was badly wrecked. None of the inmates sustained an injury, but it didn't take them long to get away from the placed after the packing house went up.

Manager D. McVichie of the Anthony Powder company was on his way home from Palmer when the mishap occurred. He saw the smoke rise and knew at once what had happened. Mr. McVichie was about the first to arrive at the scene and he at once put men at work tearing down the structures near the wrecked packing house to keep the fire from reaching them.

Richard Moody and the driver of the delivery teams were at one of the ware houses near the tracks, nearly half a mile distance from the scene of the explosion, unloading goods and they escaped unhurt. They were at the packing house a short time before.

A new packing house will be built at once and the damaged buildings will be repaired.

Both victims of the explosion were married. Nelson leaves a widow and five children. He was about forty five years of age and had worked for the company about three years. Shively was employed as a teamster at the works. He was about twenty four years of age and leaves a widow and one child. He had been a resident of this city about a year.

The last previous explosion at the works occurred nine years ago. It was not attended by an fatalities. Some twenty years ago, before the concern came under the management of the present owners, an explosion took place in which four men were killed.

The following newspaper obituary was found in the Springfield Leader And Press, Springfield, Missouri, Sunday, February 28, 1937, Page 6, Column 4: (Note: per birth date she was actually 59 when she passed away)

Mrs. Belle Hughes

Mrs. Belle Hughes, 49, 1058 East Belmont, died at 8 o'clock last night in a Springfield hospital after a lingering illness. She had been an employee of Netter Dry Goods company for 15 years in charge of the second floor. Surviving are her husband, Jack Hughes; one son, Carlton Schively of Texas and her mother.  Funeral arrangements,  under the direction of Alma Lohmeyer, are incomplete.

James B. Shively And Emma Pollock In Mason County, West Virginia And Clark County, Kansas

James B. Shively was born Oct-1857 and died 25-Mar-1916.  He is buried in Beale Chapel Cemetery, Apple Grove, Mason County, WVA. He was the son of Phillip B. Shively (born 7-Sep-1818, died 20-Nov-1873) and Mary Wright (born 25-May-1826, died 31-Jan-1894). James B. Shively was married to Emma Pollock, daughter of Thomas Pollock and Elizabeth Kennedy, on 3-Feb-1897. Emma Pollock was born on 27-Mar-1858 and died 9-Jun-1938 in Gallia County, OH.  For additional information on James B. Shively and Emma Pollock see the Shively blog article written on 14-Aug-2015.

James B. Shively went into business with brother-in-law Ernest Pollock in Minneola, Clark County, KS ca. 1910.  The following was found in the Stafford Courier, Stafford, Kansas, Thursday, June 23, 1910, Page 7, Column 3 - James B. Shively of Apple Grove, Virginia, is a guest this week at the home of James B. Robinson. He is a partner in the general merchandise business with Ernest Pollock at Minneola and is on his way out to that place.

Additional information is found in the article from the Stafford Courier, Stafford, Kansas, Thursday, March 3, 1910, Page 1, Column 1:

Buy Store At Minneola

Ernest Pollock and his brother-in-law, Mr. Shively, concluded the latter part of last week the purchase of the stock and business of the Lee Mercantile Co. at Minneola. Mr. Pollock has been connected with the Pollock store here for about nine years and is a thorough business man and an agreeable gentleman. The new firm has selected one of the best locations in the state to go into business and we believe the patrons of the store will find them all right.   Regarding the change the Minneola Record of last week says:  "A notice in the window of the Lee Mercantile Co. Thursday afternoon stated that they had closed to invoice their stock and that the store wo7,uld be open for business on Saturday.  We understand that Messrs. Pollock and Shively have purchased the store.  The former is from Stafford, having been engaged there is business with his brother. The latter is from West Virginia and formerly engaged in business there with his brother-in-law, Mr. Pollock. We wish the new firm success and welcome them to our city. To the outgoing firm, our best wishes go in whatever they take up."

This newspaper article was found in the Stafford Courier, Stafford, Kansas, Thursday, July 8, 1915, Page 3, Column 4 - Pollock, Shively & Co. are getting somewhat straightened out in their new store building. It looks very good now but when they get the final touches on it, no store west of Hutchinson on this line will have anything on it. The two big show windows in front would do credit to a business establishment in a large city and will make a fine place to display their goods. Automatic acetylene lights are found all over the main building and in the basement. The north of the building is given over to men's and boys' furnishings and the south to the ladies' department. The grocery department is in the rear with a side entrance on the south. A large wareroom on the rear and a large basement into which there is an elevator give ample room to store goods. The firm is to be congratulated on giving the town such an improvement. It not only gives them greater convenience in handling their big trade but also adds prestige to the town when a stranger here notes such structures.

Mecy Ross Hubbard was born in Marion county, Ill., January 2nd, 1873, and died in this city Dec. 20th, 1899. When a child three years of age she came to Ottawa county with her parents where she resided until 1893, when she moved with her parents to Oklahoma. In May 1897, she was married to J. M. Hubbard, of this city, at the home of her parents in Perry, Okla., and again moved to this city where she resided until her death, loved and respected by all who knew her. About two years ago her health commenced to fail, but nothing serious was apprehended until about a year ago when her husband consulted a physician and she returned on a visit to Oklahoma in the hope that a change of climate would be of benefit to her health. But change of climate, medical skill and loving care could do nothing to bring back the departed health, and on the 20th of last December she passed over the dark river into the world beyond. The bereaved husband and parents have the sincere sympathy of all in their sorrow. Mrs. Hubbard was one of those true women who make the world better and brighter for their having lived in it and her untimely death is mourned by all who knew her.

Young Married Lady Dies Suddenly

The citizens of Stockton were greatly shocked to learn on Monday morning that Mrs. J. M. Hubbard had a short time before passed to the other world, without previous warning of the great change. The lady had retired the night before in her usual health and spirits, and though for some time she had not been well, yet not the slightest premonitary sign of anything serious was shown. About 4 o'clock in the morning Mr. Hubbard was awakened by the heavy breathing of his wife, who was lying on her back. Thinking to relieve her he turned her on her side, when she quickly grew worse, and though he summoned Dr. Book at once, before his arrival she was dead. It was a terrible blow to the bereaved husband, unprepared as he was for such a dire calamity. The remains were taken to Zurich where her parents, Mr. and Mrs. B. Shively reside, on Tuesday morning and the funeral was held at the M. E. Church. A large number of sorrowing friends from that community, and several from Stockton were present.  The sermon was given by the pastor of the West Plainville Church.

Berneice Shively Hubbard was born in Pennsylvania, January 28, 1876. When a very small child she came to Rooks County with her parents, and for six years prior to her marriage lived in Stockton with the family of G. N. Wolf, who were greatly attached to her. She was married October 10, 1904, to J. M. Hubbard and leaves a devoted husband and a little boy Charles, aged about 2 years. She was a member of the M. E. Church and lived a consistent Christian life, beloved by a large circle of friends, who will cheirsh her memory as  one who left the world brighter and better for having lived in it. -Rooks County Record

The deceased was the wife of James Hubbard, formerly of this city, and is quite well known here. She was the second wife of Mr. Hubbard, the first one being Mecy Ross, of this city, and an employee in this office for a number of years. She died several years ago. Mr. Hubbard will have the sympathy of many Minneapolis people in his sad bereavement.

Obituary - Mrs. J. M. Hubbard

The passing of Mrs. J. M. Hubbard of Webster last Sunday morning was sad news to her friends, many of whom did not know that she had been in poor health. She became seriously ill last Sunday morning and lived only twenty-four hours. Reports that her death was caused by ptomaine poisoning or quick pneumonia were erroneous. Her physician, Dr. Brown diagnosed her case and pronounced her death due to that subtle malady, diabetes.

Pearl Shively was born March 22, 1883 at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Shively of Plainville, in Rooks county. In this home she grew to beautiful womanhood. She came to Stockton when a young woman to be with her sister Bernice, Mr. Hubbard's former wife, who after the birth of her baby Charles, developed heart trouble and lived but a short time. After her sister's death, Miss Shively devoted herself to the young child, lavishing upon him  devotion comparable only to that which he would have received from his own mother. When Mr. Hubbard lived in Stockton where he was engaged in the jewelry business, Miss Shively continued to care for the boy, either here or at the home of her parents. After Mr. Hubbard moved to Webster, he and Miss Shively were united in marriage, June 7, 1916, since which time she not only continued her devotion to the boy, now a lad of fifteen years, but has been her husband's good faithful helpmeet, assisting him in his business as well as in his home. During the periods when Mrs. Hubbard lived in Stockton she made many friends who admired her for her beauty of face and figure, and still more for the beautiful traits of character which were reflected in her motherly care of her little nephew. The funeral services will be at the home, and will be conducted by the Rev. L. F. Arend. Interment will be in the family lot at Zurich cemetery. The time of the funeral obsequies is not yet decided, as the storm --now abating--has made the Webster road impassable, and the road to Zurich may also require opening.

Our hearts to out in sympathy to Mr. Hubbard, who is again bereft of his companion, and to the young son who is once more deprived of a mother's love. --Rooks Co. Record, Dec. 11, 1919.

J. M. Hubbard is the son of Chas. Hubbard fo this city. He will be remembered by many of our readers, and all will be very sorry to hear of the death of his wife.

Curses Victim After Shooting - Youth Seriously Wounds Man Who Reproved Him At Corn-Shucking 

ROCKY MOUNT, VA., October 26.--A special from Endicott, Va., says that Saturday night, October 23, Tom Jeff Boyd, a youth, shot and seriously wounded Peach Shiveley at a corn-shucking at the home of Henry Adkins. Several days previous Boyd, in passing Shively's home, threw rocks at Shiveley's children and dog. At the corn-shucking Shiveley remonstrated with Boyd, and told him he must not do such things any more.

Boyd left, but soon returned with a shotgun and emptied the contents into Shiveley's back, the charge taking effect just below the shoulder blade. After the shooting Boyd remarked: "Now, d-m you, I reckon you won't try to run over me again."

He reloaded his 16-gauge gun and escaped to the woods, and has not been apprehended. Shiveley's condition is serious. He is totally blind and cannot use his left arm.  Mr. Shiveley is a man of good reputation, and has a wife and four small children.  Posses are searching for Boyd.

Receive Pike Perch For Tohickon Creek

400,000 Fry Placed in Randt's Dam At Piperville

The Bucks County Fish, Game and Forestry Association on Monday received five cans of pike perch from the State Fish hatchery at Torresdale, which were planted in Tohickon Creek. The fish arrived here on the 1:39 p.m. train over the Reading Railway and were met at the station by Secretary George MacReynolds and Assemblyman Daniel G. Fretz.

The five cans, supposed to contain 400,000 fry, were conveyed by George McLaughlin in his auto truck to the Tohickon Creek, where they were deposited in the stream by Dr. G. M. Brewer and Spencer Shively, members of the Association. The fish arrived in first class condition, apparently not a single one of the minute specimens, scarcely visible to the naked eye, having died on the journey. The places selected for depositing the fish were portions of Randt's Dam, near Pipersville, where there is considerable aquatic vegetable growth.

This is the second consignment of pike perch received from the State hatcheries within a year the first, reaching here last fall, having been deposited in the Neshaminy Creek. The planting of pike perch in these streams in an experiment, none of this species having ever been put in the waters of the county within the recollection of the present generation of sportsmen. If successful, the association will follow it up with other plantings.

Most of her life was spent in Mercer's Bottom, where she leaves a large circle of friends.

Phillip B. Shively and Mary E. Wright were the parents of at least the following children:

1) Oretha Shively born 4-Mar-1849 in Mason County, WVA and died 15-Aug-1935 in Arbuckle, Mason County, WVA. She was married to John S. Hanley (1837 - 24-Jun-1902).

Murder

Christmas does not always bring gladness to some hearts.  Accidents happen from fire-arms that bring grief, but we are rarely called upon to record an unprovoked murder.  This Christmas we do so record one.

There was a dance in the Foresters’ Hall at Chambersburg Christmas night.  A young man named Michael Shively, commonly called “Doll” Shively was Floor Manager of the dance, and another young man named Ithamer Boston, commonly called “Thame” Boston was doorkeeper.  One of the rules of the dance was that no gentleman should be admitted to the Hall without a lady partner.  While the dance was in progress a young man by the name of Theodore Hanley, known among his companions as “The” Hanley, came up stairs to the Hall door without any lady partner and demanded admission of young Boston.  The latter refused and cited him to a printed bill on the wall as to the rule of admission concerning a lady partner.  Young Hanley expostulated with Boston, and said he as going in, partner or no partner.  Boston then called Shively out of the Hall, and asked him about letting Hanley in.  Shively repeated the rule to Hanley, but the latter was irrepressible, whereupon Shively started down stairs with Hanley to talk the matter over with him in the room below.  When they had reached the lower floor Hanley commenced calling him a liar, a thief and other epithets.  Shively said to him that under the circumstances he would take it off of him.  Hanley then called him a d—s—of a b----, when Shively said he could not take such abuse off of him, and grasped at his throat, whereupon Hanley pullled out a revolver, and raising it above Shively’s head fired it down into the top of the head, the ball passing through the brain and lodging in the roof of his mouth.  Hanley, whose home if across the river from Chambersburg, fled, crossed the river, took his brother’s horse, and has not been heard of since.  Shively, though unconscious, lived until 5 o’clock Saturday morning, when he died.  Shively is spoken of as a No. 1, quiet young man.  He was the son of Mr. P. B. Shively, formerly of Ohio township, but was at the time, living in West Virginia.  He was unmarried, and about 23 years of age.  His funeral took place Sunday being conducted by the Masonic Lodge of Chambersburg.  Hanley is a single man of about 21 years.  A young man named Robert Harvey, who was with Hanley during the evening was arrested for connection therewith, and lodged in jail in default of $400 bail.  Reports are contradictory as to whether Hanley had been drinking before the unhappy occurrence, but we believe the general opinion is that he was duly sober.

This in another instance of high temper and ready revolvers.  No doubt the closest friends of young Shively do not now regret the affair half so much as he who was so quick to pull a revolver and shoot down his friend.

4) Charles Philip "Pole" Shively was born ca. 1857 and died 19-Jun-1931 in WVA. He was married to Annie Lorena Parmley (1865-1894).

5) James B. Shively was born Oct-1857 and died 25-Mar-1916. He was married to Emma Pollock (1848-1938).  If interested in more information on James B. Shively he was the subject of the Shively Blog article written on August 14, 2015.

6) Emma Shively born 1861 and died 1862.

7) Ida May Shively was born on 2-Apr-1864 and died on 22-May-1883 in Mason County, WVA.

8) Leona Shively was born on 6-Mar-1865 and died on 10-Feb-1937 in Pittsburgh, Allegheny County, PA.  She was married to Lincoln G. Lewis.  The following account of her death was found in the Pittsburgh Sun-Telegraph, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Wednesday, February 10, 1937, Page 3, Column 1:
