Writing Revealing, Shively Says

CHERAW (C-SJ) - How do you cross your T’s?

Ernest Shively of Cheraw says the more-or-less horizontal line on the top of the 20th letter of the alphabet can reveal some interesting things about you. In face, some persons have told him that the analysis of their characters according to their handwriting was “so accurate it was almost embarrassing”.

Shively, secretary of the Colorado Grapho-Analysis Society, can speak with authority. He has been studying handwriting since its analysis was demonstrated by a friend, Sidney Montague, a Canadian Northwest Mountie. Last year Shively gave almost 100 talks on handwriting,  conducted evening classes at Otero Junior College, and held four teacher’s workshops.

He received his training in grapho-analysis from the International Grapho-Analysis Society. All of the training in the one-year course is by mail. The course is released to a student only after the applicant has passed a type of entrance examination in longhand.

Professionals grading the preliminary test can screen potential forgers or other persons wishing to make illegal use of the course. As a precaution, Shively’s classes use only eight traits of writing. There is no possibility of a forger getting enough information from the short course of two three-hour sessions to help his business.

The International Society offers a post graduate or second year course dealing with special career problems and counseling. Shively hopes to use this counseling aid in what is called, “Ernest Shively Services”. However, he believes grapho-analysis ought to go beyond mere analysis of character - he believes it ought to include philosophy as well.

Shively is a former minister for the Church of the Brethren, taught high school for six years, and nows is a salesman for an investment syndicate. Because these phrases of his life made him realize the potential strength of grapho-analysis, he hopes to write a course on what he calls, “graph-dynamics” combining handwriting analysis, philosophy and salesmanship.

School, religion and home life create certain molds for characters, Shively points out. The person who resents any of these molds may feel so guilty that he fears an analysis of his handwriting may reveal his true traits, according to Shively.

“Traits are not good or bad in themselves. The way they are used determines whether they are good or bad,” Shively says. “If a person would learn his true traits, recognize them as his drives and learn to like himself better because he understands himself, eh would be happier, “the analysts from Cheraw says. Happier life is a part of the philosophy he hopes to incorporate in his article.

Handwriting changes with mood, occupation and growth, just as a person changes, Shively says. However, the basic part of the handwriting remains the same. For a true analysis of handwriting Shively advises three or four pages of long-hand written at three different times.

Among the Shively services are self-development projects such as home study of languages, graph-analysis, Montague executive tapes, and the newest addition - the Chamberlain Memorial Library. This is a lending library that developed after the deaths of Judge and Mrs. H. S. Chamberlain of Rocky Ford who willed Shively their library for a borrow-a-book-a-month club.

Shively offers program services on handwriting, a lecture featuring the Chamberlain library and other programs. He has counseling and resident classes in graph-analysis and grapho-dynamics.

LEROY A. SHIVELY

The career of Mr. Shively, now probably the best known and the ablest auctioneer in Miami county, has many points of interest.  He is a native of Miami county, who in his young manhood left his home surroundings and began his practical adventures in the west.  After a number of years of more or less successful enterprises in western states, he returned to his old county, and now for twenty years has been actively identified with the farming and general business affairs of this locality.  Mr. Shively was born on a farm in Pipe Creek township on July 26, 1869.

His father was the late Daniel P. Shively, whose career and character are worthy of long remembrance in the community which was his home for so many years, and to which he contributed so many uplifting and substantial influences.  Daniel P. Shively was born near Dayton, Ohio, was reared on a farm in the discipline of hard work and when a boy received only limited educational advantages.  As he grew up he began to appreciate his lack of schooling, and at every opportunity that was offered he studied and read with consuming ardor the most instructive literature.  His family were strong in the faith of the German-Baptist church and he was reared in the faith.  In his community in Miami county he came in time to exercise the influence of one of the leading citizens, and with his intense energy and religious zeal almost naturally took a place as local preacher among the adherents of his own faith.  He was known as a keen reasoner, a profound student of the bible, and in every relation of life his influence was for morality and practical good.  His death occurred in July, 1900.  An immense concourse of sorrowing friends followed his body to its last resting place, and on that day were paid many heartfelt tributes to his noble nature and many worthy deeds of his lifetime.

LeRoy A. Shively spent his boyhood in the old community of Pipe Creek township.  He attended the district school which was nearest the old home and trained his body by the vigorous work of the farm and the sports and diversions which country boys usually follow.  When twenty years of age he started out for himself and chose the west as a field for his early enterprise.  He was in Kansas and Colorado for some time.  Among the work which he did in Kansas was as engineer for the Great Bend Milling Company.  His experience in running an engine was practically nothing, but the company wanted an engineer, and he wanted work, so they arranged matters to their mutual satisfaction.  He continued in his place as engineer for about eighteen months, and when he left it was on his own volition and not because the company requested it.  During the following year he was engaged in carpentering and contracting, and for two years was engaged in prospecting and work in the mines at Galena, Kansas.

On returning to Miami county in 1893, Mr. Shively established himself on a farm and began the breeding of Hereford cattle, an enterprise which he continued for six years.  Selling out, he then associated himself with the late Col. Allie Powell in live stock auctioneering.  During three years of his association he made his home at Wabash.  After the death of Col. Powell in 1906, Mr. Shively continued his vocation as auctioneer on his own responsibility, and has had a large business in that calling.  For three years he was engaged in the management of the farm known as the Jerry Hardwick farm for the Shirk estate.

Mr. Shively is in politics a Democrat, and a good citizen without participating in practical party affairs.  On August 2, 1899, he married Miss Carrie B. Jacobs, of Pipe Creek township.  Their two children are Ralph D. and Dorris E.  Mrs. Shively is a member of the Methodist church.

Mrs. Anna (Rivers) Shively

Former Huntingdon resident, was 112

A former Huntingdon resident and one of the oldest persons in Pennsylvania, Lou Anna (Rivers) Shively, 112, died at 12:15 a.m. Sunday, June 7, 1992, at the Brethren Village at Neffsville,, Lancaster County, where she had resided.

Born May 14, 1880, in Russiaville, Ind., she was the daughter of the late James A. and Josephine (Bell) Rivers.  On April 17, 1904, at Kokomo, Ind., she married Dr. Charles Stacey Shively, a member of the faculty at Juniata College from 1920-42 and 1945-50 and former head of the Department of Mathematics and Physics there.  Dr. Shively died Sept. 15, 1958.

The Shivelys had lived for many years along Cold Springs Road and then at 1722 Washington St., Huntingdon.

Surviving are two children:  Dr. Arthur W. Shively of Lancaster and Mrs. Herman M. (Ethyl) Brookwalter, Shippensburg; three grandchildren; and six great-grandchildren.

She was the last surviving member of her immediate family, having been preceded in death by three brothers.

Mrs. Shively was a member of the Church of the Brethren, Shippensburg.

Mrs. Shively, shortly after her marriage, moved to the island of Guimeras, the Philippins, where she taught in one of the newly established English language schools and Dr. Shively served as supervisor of schools.  After returning to the United States in 1906, they lived in Kansas, Colorado and California, before moving to Huntingdon in September 1920, when Dr. Shively joined the faculty of Juniata College.  In addition to his work at the college, they continued to travel widely.  One year, 1929-30, was spent traveling in Europe.

During the 48 years she lived in Huntingdon, Mrs. Shively was active in numerous groups at the college and in the community, especially the Women’s League of Juniata College.  Always busy, she was one of founding members of the former Reed Club and was also widely known as a gardener—raising vegetables, flowers and fruits—herbalist, ceramics artist and avid bird watcher/naturalist.  For many years, too, she fired ceramics for Juniata art students.  She is remembered by many persons as one who was quick to extend a helping hand to others--even in her later years.

After moving to Shippensburg to live with her daughter in 1968, Mrs. Shively maintained a lively correspondence with her many friends in the Huntingdon area until failing health forced her to stop.  She also lived in Sebring, Fla., for three years before movning to the Neffsville Brethren Village 15 years ago.

At age 104, Mrs. Shively won two first place awards in a cooking contest sponsored by the Food Service Department at the Village and she was also a “poster girl” for a statewide campaign urging senior citizens to vote.

Funeral services will be held at 2 p.m. Thursday, June 11, at the John B. Brown Funeral Home, Huntingdon, with the Rev. Alan E. Miller officiating.  Entombment will be in Riverview Mausoleum, Huntingdon.

Friends may call at the funeral home for one hour prior to the service on Thursday
