E. F. Shively, Prominent Banker Here Quarter Of Century, Dies
A man who made banking history in Middletown before his retirement less than two years ago, E. F. Shively, 72, died at 5:45 a.m. today after an illness of six months.
Mr. Shively, who still was a director of the First American Bank, which he served as vice president and director for almost a quarter of a century, was active in many civic endeavors until ill health forced him further to retire into private life.
Mr. Shively was a recognized authority on banking when he came to Middletown in January of 1925 to become a director of the then First and Merchants National Bank, predecessor of the First National Bank. He had been a national bank examiner for a number of years, and his vast knowledge of the banking business was recognized throughout the state.
Born and educated in Dayton, Mr. Shively was a graduate of Trotwood High School and received his financial background in studies at Miami-Jacobs Business College in Dayton.
Calvin W. Verity, president of the First National Bank, said this morning upon learning of Mr. Shively's death, "he served for a quarter of a century as a top official in our bank, and he will be greatly missed by our officers, board of directors and employes."
"Mr. Shively in his very quiet way gave consideration to the problems that were brought before him, and he was able to be helpful over the years to a great many people."
"While Mr. Shively had been retired for almost two years, until recently he had been an active member of the board, and because of his experience, his advice and counsel will be greatly missed."
While his duties as executive vice president of the bank were time-consuming and demanding, he still found time to lend his talents to civic activities and to his Presbyterian faith.
He was a life member of the board of governors of the Civic Association and of its executive committee, served the YMCA as a director, and found a place in his busy life to share his knowledge with the various committees of the Ohio Bankers Association and the Butler County Bankers Association.
During World War II, he was chairman of the Middletown War Loan Committee and directed six war loan campaigns under the supervision of the U. S. Treasury Department, raising funds in the Middletown area to assist in financing the war. In each drive under Mr. Shively, the quotas were exceeded by wide margins.
A member of the First Presbyterian Church, he served it for many years both as a deacon and as an elder.
Mr. Shively retired from the First National Bank as executive vice president in January of 1949, but still remained an adviser as a director of the bank. At that time he moved his residence from Route 25, now occupied by Dr. and Mrs. E. O. Bauer, and with Mrs. Shively moved to the Bauer's apartment at 64 South Main St.
Surviving him are the widow, Mrs. Margaret Shively; one son, Edward H. Shively of Middletown; one daughter, Mrs. Norman Hagedorn, and two grandchildren, Charles and James Hagedorn.
Funeral services will be held at 10 a.m. Monday at the Wilson Funeral Home. The Rev. Russell Galloway of the First Presbyterian Church will officiate. Burial will be in Woodside Cemetery.
Friends may call at the Wilson Funeral Home on Sunday from 2 to 5 p.m. and from 7 to 9 p.m.
