Solomon Shively Dead

Mention was made in our last issue of the frightful fall of Solomon Shively from his hay mow on Monday evening and the dangerous condition of his injuries. He died about ten o'clock Thursday night having never regained consciousness.  From the first the doctors pronounced his injuries fatal but as he continued to live his family wanted everything done that might save his life. Dr. McCaskey, of Fort Wayne, was sent for and with Dr. Lancaster, of this city, performed an operation by which a portion of the injured man's skull was cut out and some clotted blood removed from his brain. The operation, we are told, had no perceptible effect on the patient and he still continued in a comatose condition, death resulting as above stated.

The deceased was a man aged 43 years,  8 months and 14 days at the time of his death, having resided in this community all his life. He leaves a wife and four children, besides a number of brothers and other relatives to mourn his death. Funeral took place Saturday forenoon at ten o'clock at the old Dunkard church a mile west of town. Elders Balsley and Jacob Mishler officiating. The services were very largely attended, the church being crowded to over flowing. Burial took place in the Swank cemetery north of town.

Extracted from the Daily Illinois State Register, Springfield, Illinois, Friday, July 30, 1909, Page 10, Column 3:

Shively--The funeral of J. J. Shively was held at 10 o'clock yesterday morning from the residence of his daughter, Mrs. Lee Metcalf, at Illiopolis. A quartette consisting of Mrs. Harry Dickerson, Miss Fairie McCoskle, William Matthews and Thomas Chamberlain, sang several selections.  The sheriff and deputy sheriffs of Sangamon county attended in a body and placed on the bier a beautiful floral design.

The internment was made in a cemetery near Rochester. The pallbearers were H. C. Roberts, William Matthews, Alexander Kinehan, John Shelber and Harry Faith of Illiopolis, and Charles Clendenin of this city.

J. J. Shively was born at Canton, O., September 12, 1834 and died at Springfield, Ill., July 27, 1909, aged 74 years, 10 months and 15 days.

He moved to Iowa with his parents early in life, but at the beginning of the civil war he went to Virginia, in the employment of the government and there he married Emma W. Derry, January 31, 1864.

At the close of the ware they moved to Illinois, where they resided until 1881, in which year they moved to Iowa where his wife died November 26, 1889. This union was blessed by seven children, two of whom, Mrs. Clara Metcalf and Miss Nora B. Shively, together with two brothers, three sisters and two grand children still survive him.

At the beginning of the civil war he heard and responded to his country's all and offered his services in the defense of its flag, but was refused enlistment on account of bodily injuries. Unable to overcome this, and still moved with loyalty, patriotism and love of home and country, he did all that that he could do and entered the employment of the government remaining until the close of the war.

While thus engaged he was with the Army of the Potomac and suffered many of the privations and dangers incident to the movements of that great army, among which was months of sickness in the army hospital.

Early in life he obeyed the commands of his Savior and united with the Methodist church, since which time he has lived a conscientious, consistent, constant, upright, christian life. All through his long active life he encountered many difficulties, but conquered them all by his christian fortitude and patience. His Bible was his sweetest companion and to it he always went for solace and for comfort. Profane, vulgar or harsh words had no placement in his language. With a keen sense of duty he always tried to do all things well. Quiet, reserved, and ever considerate of others, his memory will be cherished the most by those who loved him and who knew him best.

"Grandpa" Shively led an earnest, honest christian life.

With confidence and trust he rested his faith and hopes on the Rock, Christ Jesus, and leaning hard on the promises of the world's Saviour, he passed calmly and without fear from death and darkness into eternal sunshine and life everlasting.

The newspaper obituary for Clara Shively Metcalf follows. It is believed that the parents of Clara Shively are incorrectly listed in the article.   She was the daughter of Johnathan J. Shively and Emma W. Derry (Dairy). Located in the Daily Illinois State Journal, Springfield, Illinois, Sunday, February 8, 1925, Page 11, Column 1:
