The newspapers are a good source for clues when searching for family history. In doing research for Shively families in North Dakota several clues from the newspapers helped establish the lineage of Fred Shively who was born December 1882 in Taylor County, Kentucky.
The following newspaper article gives a clue as to who were the parents of Fred Shively. In the Grand Forks Daily Herald, Wednesday Morning, August 21, 1912, Page 5, Column 4:
Shively-Bowles
A pretty wedding took place at the farm home of Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Shively, near Ruby, Wednesday afternoon, when their daughter, Vernie, was given in marriage to William Bowles, son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Bowles. Rev. W. A. Dunnett performed the ceremony and a sumptuous wedding dinner was served. In the evening a reception and supper were given at the home of the groom's parents. The bride is a sister of Dr. Fred Shively of Rugby, and her only attendant was Miss Lillian Hagen of Devils Lake.
A search for Dr. Shively produced the following article found in The Evening Times, Grand Forks, ND, Saturday, August 6, 1910, Page 8, Columns 6-7:
