This site was created by Larry Shively who is researching the history of the Shively families. The goal is to have a site where all Shively researchers can share and ask questions in regards to their Shively lines. The largest majority of the Shively family records are located in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana. There are early records of Shively's also in Virginia and Kentucky. There are not many established Shively lineages back to Europe. There are documented lineages to Switzerland and Germany. Through the sharing of information from all of our research it is desired that all can learn about our Shively families.

E. F. Shively, Prominent Banker Here Quarter Of Century, Dies
A man who made banking history in Middletown before his retirement less than two years ago, E. F. Shively, 72, died at 5:45 a.m. today after an illness of six months.
Mr. Shively, who still was a director of the First American Bank, which he served as vice president and director for almost a quarter of a century, was active in many civic endeavors until ill health forced him further to retire into private life.
Mr. Shively was a recognized authority on banking when he came to Middletown in January of 1925 to become a director of the then First and Merchants National Bank, predecessor of the First National Bank. He had been a national bank examiner for a number of years, and his vast knowledge of the banking business was recognized throughout the state.
Born and educated in Dayton, Mr. Shively was a graduate of Trotwood High School and received his financial background in studies at Miami-Jacobs Business College in Dayton.
Calvin W. Verity, president of the First National Bank, said this morning upon learning of Mr. Shively's death, "he served for a quarter of a century as a top official in our bank, and he will be greatly missed by our officers, board of directors and employes."
"Mr. Shively in his very quiet way gave consideration to the problems that were brought before him, and he was able to be helpful over the years to a great many people."
"While Mr. Shively had been retired for almost two years, until recently he had been an active member of the board, and because of his experience, his advice and counsel will be greatly missed."
While his duties as executive vice president of the bank were time-consuming and demanding, he still found time to lend his talents to civic activities and to his Presbyterian faith.
He was a life member of the board of governors of the Civic Association and of its executive committee, served the YMCA as a director, and found a place in his busy life to share his knowledge with the various committees of the Ohio Bankers Association and the Butler County Bankers Association.
During World War II, he was chairman of the Middletown War Loan Committee and directed six war loan campaigns under the supervision of the U. S. Treasury Department, raising funds in the Middletown area to assist in financing the war. In each drive under Mr. Shively, the quotas were exceeded by wide margins.
A member of the First Presbyterian Church, he served it for many years both as a deacon and as an elder.
Mr. Shively retired from the First National Bank as executive vice president in January of 1949, but still remained an adviser as a director of the bank. At that time he moved his residence from Route 25, now occupied by Dr. and Mrs. E. O. Bauer, and with Mrs. Shively moved to the Bauer's apartment at 64 South Main St.
Surviving him are the widow, Mrs. Margaret Shively; one son, Edward H. Shively of Middletown; one daughter, Mrs. Norman Hagedorn, and two grandchildren, Charles and James Hagedorn. 
Funeral services will be held at 10 a.m. Monday at the Wilson Funeral Home. The Rev. Russell Galloway of the First Presbyterian Church will officiate. Burial will be in Woodside Cemetery.
Friends may call at the Wilson Funeral Home on Sunday from 2 to 5 p.m. and from 7 to 9 p.m.

Ex-Bank Executive's Widow Dies In Florida
Private graveside services for Mrs. Margaret E. Shively, 84, formerly of 2901 Grand Ave. and widow of Edward F. Shively, will be held at Woodside Cemetery, with Dr. Irvin Emmons officiating.
Mrs. Shively moved from Middletown to Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., about two months ago. She died Thursday in a rest home in Florida after an extended illness.

Mollie N. Shively was born on 30-Nov-1864 in Indiana and died on 30-Oct-1957 in Stillwater, Payne County, Oklahoma. Mollie was the daughter of William Shively (1831-1885) and Margaret J. Woodsides (1840-1898). Listed on the 1860 Ninevah Township, Johnson County, IN census are William Shively age 29, wife Margaret age 22 and daughter Susan E. On the 1880 Harvey Township, Cowley County, KS census is the family of William Shively age 52, wife Margaret age 41, daughter Susan age 19, daughter Annie N. age 18, daughter Mary N. age 15 and song Charles W. age 12.  On the 1910 Stillwater City, Payne County, OK census in the household of H.

Listed on the 1930 Stillwater Ward 2, Payne County, OK census are M. N. Shively age 65 a housekeeper in private family and niece Effie Moore age 25.

Mollie N. Shively was married first to James C. Day. Mollie was married second to William L. Swartz on 28-Aug-1910 in Payne County, OK.  At some point Mollie N Shively abandoned her married names and resumed using her maiden name. She died on 30-Oct-1957 and is buried in Fairlawn Cemetery, Stillwater, Payne County, OK.

The happy ending for Mollie’s search for her daughter is told in the following newspaper accounts.  Extracted from the Stillwater Gazette, Stillwater, Oklahoma, Friday, July 29, 1932, Page 1, Column 5:
Mother Finds Child After 35-Year Wait
Mrs. Mollie Shivley, Stillwater, Locates Daughter Who Had Been Missing For Many 
Years
The thirty-five year search of a Stillwater woman for her daughter, who was taken from her when the child was 5, has resulted in success, it was learned Wednesday and Mrs. Mollie Shivley, living on Duncan street, has established communication with her daughter.
Mrs. Susie Long is the daughter’s name and her home is in Southgate, Calif.
For many years Mrs. Shivley considered her daughter dead, when efforts to locate her struck blind trails. Recently, especially in the last two years, the mother was heartened in her search by scattered bits of information that finally led to the establishment of communications. R. D. Lahman family, for whom Mrs. Shivley worked for some time, aided materially in the search.
The story is one of tragic efforts that extended over the long period of years during which the little girl was growing in womanhood. Mrs. Shivley’s first husband, Jim Day, deserted her thirty-five years ago. The mother related that he kidnaped his daughter, Susie, then 5, and his whereabouts could not be located. The years sped along and no word was learned. The Days lived near Skiatook when the family was broken up.
Now it has been learned that Jim Day took his small daughter to Wichita, Kans., and remarried. Neighbors took custody of the little girl shortly after. She remembered her mother and efforts to find her were made, but the child had no proper information.
Later Susie went to Kansas City, later to California. Through recent newspaper advertisements, Kansas acquaintances enabled Mrs. Shivley to pick up the trail. She has a letter from her daughter, as has Mr. Lahman. The father, Jim Day, died a year ago in Wichita, it has been learned.

A second account of the story was found in The Los Angeles Times, Los Angeles, California, Tuesday, August 9, 1932, Page 19, Column 4:
Mother’s Long Hunt Succeeds
Forty-Year Maternal Quest Ends In Los Angeles
Babe Stolen Four Decades Ago Found At Last
Daughter Leaves To Bring Parent To Home Here
Kidnaped forty years ago when a babe in arms, Mrs. Susie Long, 8424 San Carlos avenue, South Gate, last night was preparing to return to her mother, Mrs. James C. Day of Stillwater, Okla., to end a search of four decades.
When Mrs. Long was three years of age her father, James C. Day, in a fit of spite stole the baby from his wife. He kept her hidden for three years and then permitted her adoption by another family. The baby then became Susie Collins and as years passed she forgot her mother and was told by her father that she had died. Sue Collins grew up, married George F. Long and moved to California. A daughter was born to her eleven years ago and the years rolled away with the stolen child now forty-three years of age, living in the belief that she was without parents or relatives.
Faith Survives
This long passage of time, however, did not dim the faith of the mother that her baby daughter was yet alive and that some day she would find her. Ever since the kidnaping the mother has tried to locate her missing child. Postmasters over the entire country have received her plea to aid in her search, newspapers have carried notices requesting any information from any source. But all to no avail.
Then into the moving world came the radio.
Annually stations broadcast the search of the mother and still no word came that would end the hunt and let the mother know the whereabouts of her long-last child. Two weeks ago another broadcast went out from a Kansas City station. A woman in St. Joseph, Mo., a girlhood chum of Susie Collins, heard the plea. She wrote to the lonely mother in her Oklahoma home, telling here of her school days and friendship with a girl who answered the description given.
Trail Confused
The mother as years passed had taken her maiden name of Mollie Shively and her daughter had changed by marriage from Collins to Long. This added more difficulties to the mother’s search. She did not lose hope, but renewed her efforts through the postoffices. Finally came word that she might find her daughter in California. Then the Los Angeles search with its final ending at the modest home in South Gate. Letters and photographs were exchanged and a forty-year search was over.
The kidnap victim is going to Oklahoma, accompanied by her daughter, and they will bring back with them to spend the declining years of her life the mother who never lost hope when time seemed to work against fulfillment of her faith.

The following newspaper obituary was located in the Stillwater News-Press, Stillwater, Oklahoma, Sunday, November 3, 1957, Page 4, Column 3:
Mrs. Shively Dies At 92
Services will be held at 2:30 p.m., Monday in Strode chapel for Mrs. Mollie E. Shively, 92, 311 Maple ave., who died Wednesday at Caney, Kans.
The Rev. Henry A. Morton of the First Methodist church, will officiate with interment at Fairlawn cemetery under the direction of the Strode funeral home.
Mrs. Shively was born in Indiana on Nov. 30, 1864, and moved to Payne county in 1890. She was a member of the Methodist church.
Survivors are a daughter, Mrs. Susie Day Long, Joshua Tree, Calif., and three nephews, Jap Owens, 723 N. Ramsey st., Cal Owens, 116 S. Ridge road, and Carl Sample of Oxford, Kans.
