Aaron Shively born Jan. 8, 1839, departed this life March 9, 1909, aged 70 years, 2 months and one day. He, while in his younger days, served as a minister in the United Brethern church, and lived in that faith as a devoted servant. He leaves a wife, two daughters and one son, Mrs. Edna M. Baird, Marguerite Emmons and Orbie R. Shively, five granddaughters and two grandsons, also one brother, David Shively of New Cumberland, and one sister, Mrs. Elizabeth Bowman of Millport. He has lived for over 45 years in this vicinity and has a wide circle of neighbors and friends to sympathize with the family in their sorrow. Rev. J. S. Heffner, of Homeworth, preached a very appropriate sermon at the funeral, which was held in the Bayard church, the remains were laid to rest in the Moultrie cemetery, near that of his son Jesse, who preceded him over 7 years ago.

Thus we know, that he who garners for his own takes the young, old and older ones to His bosom, that we may know that He can choose who He will and they must leave this abode and go to Him. All sympathize with the family in this their hour of trouble.
