Former Stroudsburg Man Had Good View of Landing

Stroudsburg --- When Apollo made its historic splashdown in the Pacific Thursday, Albert Shively, formerly of Stroudsburg, and one of the best views to watch the proceedings.

Shively, a Marine captain, didn't see the event on television from a comfortable living room, but rather caught a bird's eye view from the U.S.S. New Orleans, the veteran recovery ship.

Mrs. Frank Fraunfelter of 903 Clay Ave., Stroudsburg, Shively's grandmother, said she was "glued to the television set all afternoon" in the hope of seeing her grandson.

"I didn't spot him, but then I really didn't know what type of uniform he would be wearing or anything," she said.

Mrs. Fraunfelter said her grandson learned he would be on the ship in June.  Shively, 28, had previously served as the only Marine on U.S.S. Paul Revere.

"As I understand it, the skipper of the U.S.S. New Orleans had specifically asked that he be on the ship.  I believe he was in the line of men who welcomed the astronauts aboard," she said.

Shively, who stayed at his grandparents' house during the summer and other times throughout the year, attended East Stroudsburg High School.

Mrs. Fraunfelter says she sometimes has mixed feelings about the space program as "I guess almost everybody does."

"I only know for sure my grandson supports it.  He probably knows more about it, so in the long run I'm with him."

Extracted from the History Of Custer County, Nebraska, By W. L. Gaston And A. R. Humphrey, Lincoln, Nebraska, Western Publishing And Engraving Company, 1919, pages 509-510:         REV. BRENARD A. SHIVELY -- It is not often that an outsider understands or appreciates the work of the clergy of the United Evangelical church. Fortunately these learned and worthy ministers give but little thought to the criticism or lack of appreciation on the part of the world, resting content with the realization that they have carried out the ideas of their supervisors, have done the work of their Master, and have accomplished untold good for the benefit of humanity.  One of these unselfish and venerated members of the United Evangelical clergy is Rev. Brenard A. Shively, pastor of the church of this faith at Callaway.

Brenard A. Shively was born January 22, 1881, at Newport, on the Juniata river, in Perry county, Pennsylvania, and is a son of Charles and Catherine (Longacre) Shively, also natives of the Keystone state.  The father, now deceased, was for many years a merchant in Pennsylvania, where he had stores at different points.  There were five children in the family:  Brenard A., Maurice C., Laura (who died single), Mrs. Alice Straup (also deceased), and Miss Mary E

When still a boy, Brenard A. Shively, came into the first money earned by himself, this being gained by picking slate in an anthracite coal-breaker at the mines at Kingston, Pennsylvania.  When he was a little older he attended the public schools of Wilkes Barre, and when not engaged at his studies, he was employed in drawing wire in the establishment of the Hazard Manufacturing Company.  Later he went to Albright College, at Myerstown, in his native state, where he received his higher education, in preparation for the ministry, and at Hazelton, Pennsylvania, in February, 1902, he was licensed to preach the Gospel, by the Eastern Pennsylvania conference of the United Evangelical church.  At that time he came to Humboldt, Nebraska where he accepted a call to the Cottage church, and after there remaining two years he went to Shelton, Buffalo county, where he remained a like period.

On October 19, 1904, at Dawson, Nebraska, was solemnized the marriage of Rev. Brenard A. Shively, to Miss Bertha R. Heim, who was born at Dawson, daughter of Joseph G. and Rosa Heim, early settlers of Richardson county where they still reside.  Six children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Shively and all reside at the parental home---Mildred A., D. Ray, T. Ruth, Hilda M., Evelyn E., and Charles J.

From Shelton, Buffalo county, Mr. Shively went to Naponee, Franklin county, where he served three years as pastor.  He then went to Eustis, Frontier county, where he spent a like period, and eventually he removed to Aurora, the county seat of Hamilton county, where he remained two and one-half years.  In September, 1914, he was called to Callaway, where he has since acted as pastor of the Evangelical church, serving also the pulpits at Spring Creek and Brown Valley.

For seven years Mr. Shively held various offices in the State Christian Endeavor Union, and he was transportation manager for that organization to two international and one world's Christian Endeavor conventions.  Possessed of no mean literary ability and of the power of expression, he has done much writing in the past, and he is the author of the history of the United Evangelical church in Custer county, which appears in this publication.  Mr. Shively is an earnest, zealous, and energetic pastor---one who is not only possessed of ministerial ability, but is also a practical man of affairs, capable of handling business matters in an expeditious and able manner.  He is greatly loved by the members of his congregation, and has many warm friends among men of all creeds and denominations in the various communities where he has carried on his work.

SHIVELY, John J. Although his active life was spent in Macon County, the late John J. Shively, after his retirement from agricultural labors, moved to Cerro Gordo, where he spent his last years, so he properly belongs to the list of substantial men of Piatt County. He was born in Clinton County, Ind.. May 21, 1853, a son of Stephen and Catherine (Metzger) Shively, born near Dayton, Ohio. They were married in Indiana, and located on a farm, later becoming early settlers of Macon County, Ill. Subsequently they moved to Piatt County, and spent their declining years at Cerro Gordo, where they died. The educational training of John J. Shively was obtained in the common schools. He was taught farming in all its branches, and for many years was a prosperous farmer of Oakley Township, Macon County, operating a farm of 160 acres still owned by his widow. In 1908 he retired, moving to Cerro Gordo, where he bought a handsome residence, and in it he died March 14, 1908. On May 10, 1874, Mr. Shively was married to Leah Blickenstaff, born In Clinton County, Ind., August 13, 1851, a daughter of Leonard and Catherine (Ulery) Blickenstaff, born in Ohio, who came to Macon County, Ill., in 1855. Mrs. Blickenstaff died in 1866, while Mr. Blickenstaff died a few years later. Mr. and Mrs. Shively became the parents of the following children: Cora, who lives with her mother; and Levi, who resides at Chicago, married Gertrude Whisler, and they have one son, Willard. Levi Shively has taken an advanced course in mathematics at the University of Chicago, from which he will be graduated in 1917. He intends to make teaching his life work. In religious faith Mr. Shively belonged to the Church of the Brethren, in which the entire family hold membership. His political views made him a Republican, and he gave an earnest and conscious support to the principles and candidates of that party. Hard working, intelligent and thrifty, Mr. Shively was successful and made his mark upon his community.
