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.

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:

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.
