He was the son of Albert Benjamin Shively (1870-1931) and Medora "Dora" Harriet Loveland (1871-1949).

The caption under the photo states "Bert Shively volunteered for service in the 134th Ambulance Company in April, 1917, and on July 2 received a call to report at Camp Eaton. From here, he was transferred to Camp Cody, New Mexico. While at this camp he became sick with tonsilitis and appendicitis at the same time. Due to the high fever caused by tonsilitis, he could not withstand the shock of an operation, and so passed away on May 11, 1918. Bert Shively was the son of Mr. and Mrs. A. B. Shively, of Laurel, Nebraska."

Laurel Mourns Death Of First Soldier Boy

Word was received here Saturday forenoon of the death of Bert Shively at Camp Cody, Deming, New Mexico, from pneumonia.

Bert was operated upon Tuesday, May 7th, at the base hospital, for appendicitis, and a message received here the day following stated that he was getting along all right. However, word came about seven o'clock Thursday evening that his condition was serious and his father started for Deming the next morning, arriving there at 11 o'clock, Sunday forenoon. In the meantime, John Maxon, who lives between Deming and Camp Cody, had been keeping the family here informed of conditions and once after Mr. Shively's departure, wired that Bert was better. This message was received here Friday and immediately forwarded to Mr. Shively, who replied from Kansas City that he received it. Closely following this, however, came the death message. A wire from Mr. Shively Sunday stated that he would start back with the body Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock, accompanied by Wm. Griffin. Word was received from them at Omaha this morning and they will be here tonight. A committee from the Home Guards, consisting of E. R. Middleton, E. A. Tolles and Nels Utter, went to Omaha on the early train to meet them.

This is the first death among the Laurel soldier boys and the entire community mourns with the grief-stricken family.

In April, 1917, with other Laurel boys, Bert volunteered for service in the 134th Ambulance Company and July 2nd received his call to report at Sioux City. Until late in September he was at Camp Eaton and then ordered with his company to Camp Cody, where they arrived October 2nd. While in Sioux City he made a few short visits home and in the winter his mother and brother Elmer visited him at Deming. Tho they realized that conditions there were far from desirable, Bert was well when they saw him and they hoped he would survive the severe physical test of a prolonged stay in that climate. He remained well until very lately -- in fact up to the time of entering the hospital for the appendicitis operation. He then wrote the he was suffering from an attack of tonsilitis and the operation would be performed as soon as his fever subsided. As late as Sunday and Monday he wrote Laurel friends that he was all right, but it appears that pneumonia set in after the operation, and he died at two o'clock Saturday morning.

While the telegram received here stated that death resulted from pneumonia, a dispatch from Camp Cody to the Omaha Bee gave the cause as peritonitis.

Bert Dewey was the second son of Mr. and Mrs. A. B. Shively of Laurel and was born near here. He was 20 years of age September 3rd, 1917, and the first of his immediate family to die, being survived by his parents, five brothers and two sisters.

Bert graduated from the Laurel High School with the class of 1914, and other members being Hazel Sullivan, Florence Herrick (Mrs. W. W. Clough, Allen), Delma Bruggeman (Mrs. Peter Hyidahl, Fairfax, S.D.), Ruth Most (Mrs. Ralph Flint) and Clark Mills.

Planning to fit himself for the law, Bert attended the state university at Lincoln during the school year of 1915 and 16. The following summer he spent in Kansas, earning money with which to further his education. That fall he returned home and helped his father pick corn, later taking a position in the J. H. Coburn & Son store, where he remained until he enlisted.

Bert was popular among his young associates here at home and also at the university, where he was a member of the Sigma Nu fraternity.

The funeral will occur tomorrow (Thursday) afternoon at two o'clock, from the Presbyterian church, the pastor, Rev. W. O. Harper, officiating and the Home Guards attending in uniform and assisting in the service. The music will be by the Presbyterian quartet, and the following you men will act as pall bearers: Earl Ankeny, Harold Macklem, Milo Sabin, Fredolf Hendrickson, Evard Waite and Roscoe Walter.

Burdette Shively, who is superintendant of the schools at Lynch, on learning of his brother's death, came home immediately, arriving Saturday afternoon. His wife remained at Lynch to look after the senior class play, etc.

Fred Shively, a cousin of the dead boy and formerly of Laurel, is expected today from his home at Oakdale.

A. B. Shively Funeral Held Last Saturday

Passed Away Last Thursday Afternoon At 1:15 P.M.

Was Sixty-One Years Old

Burial Made In Laurel Cemetery--Masonic Lodge In Charge Of The Services

A. B. Shively, prominent resident of this city and former county commissioner of Cedar county for ten years died at the family home on last Thursday afternoon following an illness of three weeks. Hope for his recovery was given up some time before death came to him and while the news of his death was expected at any time, yet it caused a cloud of sorrow to settle upon the community where he had lived so long and where he had so many friends. Mr. Shively had been active in the affairs of both his own community and the county and enjoyed a wide acquaintance throughout the territory.

About three weeks ago he suffered a heart attack from which he never rallied. He had been subject to those spells fro the past few years, but was always able to ward off the attack and return to his active duties. However this last attack was followed with complications and he was called to rest on the above date.

Funeral services were held from the Presbyterian church last Saturday afternoon, Rev. E. R. King in charge with Rev. Harper, a former pastor and friend of the family preaching the sermon. The Masonic order were in charge of the services throughout and attended in a body, later going to the cemetery where the ritualistic services of the order were given. Despite the inclement weather the church was taxed to hold the crowd that came to pay their last respects to the memory of this good man, and had not the rain not been falling and the sky overcast, many from all over the county would have been present. Following is the life story of Mr. Shively as prepared for the services.

Albert Benjamin Shively, fifth son of Benjamin F. and Emeline Hill Shively, was born at Almena, Michigan, May 5, 1870. Following the death of his mother, which occurred two years later, he made his home with relatives and friends until he reached the age of seventeen. He was educated in the public schools of Van Burn County, Michigan, and became a member of the First Presbyterian church of Paw Paw, Michigan.

In 1887 he was attracted by the opportunities of the new west and left for Meridan, Iowa, where two of his brothers were located. He engaged in various work for five years.

In 1892 he returned to Michigan where he was united in marriage to Dora Loveland at Paw Paw on Dec. 14, 1892. Moving to Laurel, Nebraska the following spring, he resided in this community continuously until the time of death. Eight children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Shively, all but one of whom survive and were at home during the last illness of their father.

Mr. Shively took and active interest in all community projects and civic activities, serving for ten years as Cedar county commissioner. He was a member of the Modern Woodmen of America, Independent Order of Odd Fellows and Ancient Free and Accepted Masons.

His health, one of his greatest assets for many years, began gradually to fail several years ago, culminating in the heart attack which caused his demise. He passed to the Great Beyond at 1:15 P.M. Thursday, June 18, 1931, surrounded by his loving wife and family.

He was preceded in death thirteen years ago by his second son, Bert, who was stricken with appendicitis while stationed with the military forces at Camp Cody, New Mexico. He leaves to mourn his departure: his wife, Dora Shively; five sons, Burdette, of Plainview, Elmer, of Carleton, Clarence, of Leeds, Iowa, Clyde and William of Laurel; two daughters Mrs. C. P. Guinn and Mrs. Arthur Winquist, both of Laurel; two half brothers, John and Harry Shively, and two half-sisters, all of whom reside in Michigan; and ten grandchildren, besides other relatives and numerous friends in the community where he has made his home for so many years.

Peace be to his memory.

Laurel has lost an outstanding citizen. A man who enjoyed the confidence and respect of all who knew him. His is a loss that will be felt by the community for years to come and his good works will live on after him and keep ever green the memory of a man who did what he thought was right for the interests of the entire community. We join the many friends of the deceased in extending our deepest sympathy in this hour of affliction and sorrow. Words cannot soften the passing of a loved one but He that doeth all things well can send comfort to bin up the wounds and heal the aching hearts. To Him we commend the sorrowing family.

The following article was extracted from The Pioche Record, Pioche, NV, Saturday, July 24, 1880, Page 3, Column 3:  FATAL RUNAWAY ACCIDENT. -- From Wash Woodbury, who arrived in Ward this morning, me learn of a runaway accident in Spring Valley Tuesday last, resulting in the death of Mable Shively, daughter of A. P. Shively, a former resident of this place. Mrs. Shively left Silver Canyon Tuesday for Spring Valley in a wagon with her three children. While going down the steep bank of a creek in the valley she attempted to put on the brake, but missing it, fell out and was run over. This frightened the team, which ran away. The oldest children jumped out at different times and were separated. Mable, who is about three years old, it is thought, was thrown out. Search was immediately made for the children and all found, except the last named, on the day of the accident. The search was renewed Wednesday, and Mr. Odgers, who secured the services of a numb22er of Indians, succeeded in finding her dead body fifteen miles from where the horses started. Her injuries being slight, it is thought she died from fright or exhaustion. Mrs. Shively was seriously injured by being run over. --Ward Reflex.

The newspaper obituary for Elizabeth Cline (Klein) Shively was found in the Weekly Independent, Elko, Nevada, Friday, April 27, 1900, Page 3, Column 3:

Mrs. Elizabeth Shiveley, at Ogden, Utah, Tuesday, April 10, 1900 at 1:30 in the morning.

Her funeral took place from the home of her sister, Mrs. Pierce, in Ogden, Thursday the 12th.

She leaves a husband and two children---Jessie, (Mrs. Alexander Penrod of Ogden) and Delbert, now living in Bruneau Valley, Nevada. She had been a sufferer for years and her death resulted from cancer. SInce October last she has been in Ogden for treatment, though since 1887 the family lived in Nevada, mostly in Elko. On Christmas Day of '87 she and her husband united with the Elko Presbyterian Church. She died in its communion after years of hard and faithful service for the Master, whom she devotedly loved, and whose work she never tired of doing. The church and society have missed her faithful and cheerful help from the first, but she united in service for the Master wherever her lot was cast.

Her family and many friends feel keenly their loss in her going. But when they realize that her sorrows and sufferings are past, and that she lives where all tears are wiped away, they would not recall her tired and afflicted body back to earth, even if they could. Her husband was for years a faithful and honored elder in the session of the Elko church, and in everything she was his trusted helpmate. Her faith in God was firm and constant, enabling her to set a good example to her children, who have felt safe in following here steps, as she walked near the Christ, and now, that she is gone, her children rise up and call her blessed, as so often they did in her lifetime.

With a host of other friends, the present Pastor of the Elko church, desires to offer to the family all christian sympathy and every Christly help. May the Lord bless thee and keep thee and give thee peace.       J. A. M.

Mr. A. P. Shively

A letter from Alex Penrod, dated at Malheur, Oregon, October 26th, brings the news of the death of Mr. A. P. Shively, a former resident of Elko, on the 23d of this month from cancer of the throat after suffering nearly three years from that terrible disease. During that time he tried physicians in California and other states, but received no aid. His wife died at Ogden May 10, 1900, of cancer.

Mr. Shively was born in Steubenville, Ohio, May 4, 1839. He came west residing in Nevada most of the time until five years ago. He died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. A. D. Penrod. A son, Bert Shively, of Winnemucca  and Mrs. Penrod of Malheur, Oregon, survive him.

Most of the old timers of Elko will remember, Mr. Shively. He lived here several years and was highly respected by everybody. His children, Bert and Jessie, now Mrs. Penrod, attended school here. In his death, Oregon, has lost a good citizen and the surviving children a loving father. TO them, we tender the sincere sympathy of their Elko friends.
