Both parents of Mr. Shively were born in Ohio.  The father was a solider in the service of his country in the Civil War, and lost his life in that great struggle.  It thus came about that our subject was thrown entirely upon his own resources when but 10 years of age.  He left Jefferson township and for a number of years worked at farming throughout Mercer County, and later operated a farm for himself.  In 1887 he embarked in the mercantile business at Stedcke, which he has conducted ever since, each year enlarging and adding to the stock of goods handled.  He owns a farm of 40 acres in Hopewell township and another, of 80 acres, in Butler township and also operates another store, at Mercer.  He is one of the county’s enterprising and successful business men.  He has also been very active in politics, has served as clerk of the Board of Elections of Hopewell township and for six years was township treasurer.  He has also served as Postmaster at Stedcke.  He is a stanch Republican.
