An Old Time "Family Doctor"

Dr. S. S. Shively Begun Practice In Wyandotte 35 Years Ago

Dr. S. S. Shively, the last in Wyandotte of that old time school of physicians who came to your house in a buggy or on horseback and gave you medicine from a black leather case instead of writing you out an expensive prescription in Latin, died last night at his home, 700 St. Paul street.  He had been sick nearly a year.

Dr. Shively was 75 years old and was born in Canton, Ohio.  He graduated in medicine from a Chicago college in 1863, and two years later finished a post graduate course at a medical college in Cincinnati, Ohio.  He then moved to northern Missouri where he rode from village to village carrying his surgical instruments and medicine in saddle bags.  He started practice in Bonner Springs, KS in 1882, and four years later moved to the Armourdale district, where he has since been in active practice.

Dr. Shively is survived by his wife, Mrs. Josephine Shively, and two sons, L. A. Shively of Chicago and D. M. Shively, former president of the Western Association Baseball League, and former corner of Wyandotte County.  Dr. S. S. Shively was the last to die of 12 brothers and sisters.  He was a member of Armourdale lodge No 271 of the Masons.

S. Shively owes his nativity to Stark County, Ohio, where he was born on February 28, 1839, and remained in his native State, where he received a common-school education, until fourteen years of age.  From there he went to Indiana, settled in St. Joseph County, where he remained for some time.  He early evinced a strong liking for the medical profession, and began the study of medicine in 1861, attending lectures in 1864 at the Homoeopathic College of Chicago, and practiced until 1880, when he attended Eclectic Medical Institute of Cincinnati, Ohio, and received his diploma in 1881.  After having practiced near Kirksville, Adair County, Mo., for seven years, in 1882 he came to Kansas City, Kas., where he has since resided.  He has a large and constantly increasing practice, and his presence is ever welcome at the bedside of the sick or afflicted. He is called upon from far and near, and his advice is sought for by thousands of people.  He is a member of the Masonic fraternity.  He was married in 1862 to Miss Josephine Coriell, a native of Ohio, who bore him two children:  Lloyd A. and Delbert M., who is a reporter for The Kansas City, Mo., Star.  Dr. and Mrs. Shively are members of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church.

Marriage Of  Dilcy Bailey & Aaron Shively

The Civil War Widow's Pension File for Dilcy Bailey Cox Shively is a valuable file for the genealogist in that it contains approximately 250 pages of information.  The African Americans mentioned in these files lived in Taylor and Green County in Kentucky.  Dilcy Ann Bailey was first married to George Cox in Taylor County, Kentucky on 15-November-1857.  George Cox  served as a private in the 108 Regiment, Company D, US Colored Infantry.  George Cox died on the 20-May-1866 in Green County, KY from Camp Diarrhea he contacted at Vicksburg, Mississippi.  Dilcy married second to Aaron Shively in Green County, KY on 29-December-1870.  Aaron Shively served as a private in Company F of the 125th US Colored Infantry.

Some of the history of Dilcy Bailey and Aaron Shively are best told in their own words:

Case of Aaron Shively--On the 6th day of October, 1897 at National Military Home, County of Grant, State of Indiana, before me, Chas. E. Paul, a special examiner of the pension file, personally appeared Aaron Shively, who being by me first duly sworn to answer truly all interrogatories propounded to him during this special examination of aforesaid pension claim, eposes and says:  I am 50 years of age; occupation, common laborer.  I am at present an inmate of the National Military Home, Grant County, Ind.  I was born a slave near Roachville, Green County, Kentucky.  I first was owned by Price Roach; after his death I became the possession of John Wesley Shively and was with him for a least ten years before my enlistment.  Ben Wakefield, Caesar Cox, Natkins Motley and Hanover Williams knew me long before service and were raised in the vicinity of Roachville, Green County, Kentucky.  They also knew me after my service until about 1873 as we all went back near Roachville and farmed for six years after the war.  I enlisted in April, 1865 in Co F, 125th US Colored Vol. Inf., served as Private, and was discharged about Dec 23, 1867.  I had no other service. I am pensioned for chronic diarrhea and piles under the new law at $12 per month.  I am pensioned un the old law for the same disabilities.  I now claim additional pension under the old law for sore mouth, loss of teeth, affliction of eyes and hearing.  My left ear and left eye are most affected. I claim no other disabilities and had no other disabilities in service but the diarrhea and piles.  I think upon recollection that I also had a pain in my left side from a strain while lifting a wagon in service. That happened in 1866 while we took provisions across the plains from Leavenworth, Kansas to the Rio Grande river in New Mexico (Fort Selden).  There is a pinch in my side and I have worn a truss or belt for it ever since the war.  Before the war I had no sickness that I recall but chills and fever.  I worked on the plantation of John Wesley Shively before the war and also worked for him about three years after the time I was discharged.  At my examination at enlistment I was stripped and my sight and hearing were tested.  There were several doctors and I was rolled around and measured and also had my teeth examined.    The first disease I had in service was diarrhea shortly after my enlistment and while we were at Louisville, Ky.  I had this off and on during the rest of my service.  Also had piles.  I next contracted small pox at Cairo, Ill. about New Year 1866.  Some said I had varioloid.  I was placed in Hospital No. One at Cairo, Ill......

Case of Dilcy A. Shively--On this 8 day of May, 1907, at Greensburg, Count of Green, State of Ky., before me, H. B. Swearingen, a special examiner of the Bureau of Pensions, personally appeared Dilcey A. Shively, who being by me first duly sworn to answer truly all interrogatories propounded to her during this special examination of aforesaid claim for pension, deposes and says:  I am 66 years of age, my post-office address is Greensburg, Green Co., Ky.  I do not do anything any more.  I have paralysis and have to depend on my friends for my living.  I was a slave belonged to Grief Bailey.  He lived in Taylor Co. between here and Campbellsville.  I was married to George Cox.  We had the consent of our owners to marry and were married in my mother's cabin.  My master and mistress gave us a wedding supper and my young mistress Mary Ellen Bailey set the table.  My husband belonged to Mr. Fred Cox who lived about 4 miles from us and after our marriage he would come to our place Saturday night and go back Monday morning.  I had two children before the war but they are both dead.  I was 15 years old when I married and it was 5 years before the war.  George Cox went to the Army and was gone a year and a half.  He came home the first of April and died the third Sunday in May following.  I stayed at Mr. Baileys while he was gone but when he came home from the Army he took me to Mr. Cox's place and died there.  He was sick with Camp diarrhea when he came home and died of that disease.  He belonged to Co. D, 108 USC Inft.  After Cox died I went to Tinsley Webster's and was there till I remarried.  Webster lived on Winston Anderson's place and while I was there I worked in the field.  One of my children died before the war but the other one Jimmie lived until 3 years ago.  He drew pension after my remarriage till he was 16 years old.  Aaron Shively had belonged to John Shively prior to the war and was a soldier in the War.  He was in the 125 Regt but I do not know what Company.  Five years after George Cox died I married Aaron Shively.  He passed for a young man but I had known him only a year when we married so I knew only by what I heard that he had not been married before.  I lived with Aaron a little better than 3 years.  He lived at Mr. Shively's place one year and there went to John M. Robinson's place. We made 2 crops there and then Aaron left me.  He went off with my sister Mary Catherine Bailey.  I do not know where they went but I heard they went across the Ohio River.  He sold all our things.  We had three horses and 6 hogs and he sold them all.  My sister was staying with me then they went away together.  My sister came back within two years.  She wrote to ____ for money to come back on.  She had a child about a year old when she came back.  She afterwards married Archie Ward and died at Lebanon.  I have never seen Aaron since he ran off that time.  I got a divorce from him about a year ago.  I never tried to get a divorce till I heard that I could get my pension back.  I never married after Aaron left me and never lived with any man as his wife.  I had two children by Aaron Shively, but one of these is dead.  I have only one child living, Bertha J., wife of Jerry White.  No, Sir, I never tried to get a divorce till last year.  He never tried to get a divorce from me that I know of.  I have never heard from him in any way, shape, nor form.  No, I did not know my attorney found him when he got my divorce.  After Aaron left me I had to make my living the best way I could.  I worked in the field and washed and ironed and cooked.  I have lived right within neighborhood all the time except one year that I lived near Lebanon.  I was paralyzed 6 years ago and since then have not been able to do anything.  I lived for a while with my son in law Jerry White in Taylor Co. and he put me on the County and got pay for keeping me but within County my friends here kept me for nothing.  I have heard this read, have understood your questions and my answers are correctly recorded.

Snyder County Man Is Killed At Lebanon

Harold W. Shively, 29, Bricklayer, Dies In Plunge From Ladder Late Yesterday.--Family Grief-Stricken.

Word was received late yesterday that, Harold W. Shively, a native of Snyder County and until a few years ago a resident of that section, was killed in a fall at Lebanon, where he has been employed from some time past.

Mrs. C. N. Jarrett of Rolling Green received the word, a telegram bearing meager details of the tragedy.

The ill-fated young man was employed by a Lebanon contractor as a brick-layer. While working high above the ground and standing on a ladder, he lost his foothold and plunged to the earth.  Fellow workmen rushed to his assistance and hurried him to the city hospital at that place where he died within a few hours, probably from a fractured skull sustained in striking the ground with terrible force.

Mr. Shively was aged 29 years and is survived by his wife and two children.  One sister, Mrs. Mary Weirick of Northumberland and one brother, Arthur of Milton, and several nephews also survive.

No definite particulars as to the young man's death had been received by the Jarrett family up until a late hour this afternoon.  The death of the young man comes as a severe shock to his family and a host of friends who join in mourning his demise.

Undertaker F. K. Sutton of Selinsgrove left this morning for Lebanon to get the remains.  Funeral services will be held from the Jarrett home at Rolling Green with Rev. J. F. Drumm officiating.  Interment will be made in the West Side cemetery.

Bickel who was born May 1858.   Marilyn Georgeson has a well documented site of the "Descendants of Durs Schaeublin".  From her site it is known that Elias Shively was the son of Daniel Shively born 28-Jan-1905 in Northumberland Co., PA died 11-Oct-1871 and buried in Laurelton Lutheran Cemetery in Union Co., PA and wife, Elizabeth Keister.  Daniel was the son of John Shively born 5-Feb-1776 in West Buffalo Township, Northumberland Co., PA died 7-Dec-1862 in Hartley Township, Union Co., PA and buried in Lewis Cemetery, Union Co., PA and wife, Elisabeth Dersham.  John was the son of Christian Shively III born 2-Feb-1751 in Warwick Township, Lancaster Co., PA died 12-Dec-1842 Union Co., PA and wife, Sophia Catharina Von Groate Schmidt.  Christian Shively III was the son of Christen Schaeublin who was christened 25-Dec-1718 in Oberdorf, Basel, Switzerland died after 16-Nov-1773 in York Township, York Co., PA and wife, Esther Neff.  Christen Schaeublin was the son of Christian Schaeublin who was born 6-Nov-1683 Oberdorf, Basel, Switzerland died before 18-Apr-1752 and wife, Barbara Spittler.  Christian Schaeublin was the son of Durs Schaeublin who was born about 1650 in Oberdorf, Basel, Switzerland died after 19-Jan-1690 and wife, Margaret Straumann.

Nov. 16^th, 1865

Sir:

I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt from our Office of application for Pension, and to return it herewith, with such information as is furnished by the files of this Office.

It appears from the Rolls on file in this Office, that William H. Shively was enrolled on the 19^th day of Aug, 1861, at Findley Ohio in Co. “B”, 21 Regiment of Ohio Volunteers, to serve 3 years, or during the war, and mustered into service as a Private on the 19^th day of Sept 1861, at Findley Ohio, in Co. “B”, 21^st Regiment of Ohio Volunteers, to serve 3 years, or during the war.  On the muster out Roll of Co. “B” of that Regiment, dated July 25, 1865, he is reported a Sergeant and “Absent, prisoner, Captured at Battle of Chickamauga, Ga  Sept 20, 1863”. No evidence of disability on file.  Said soldier was mustered out May 9, 1865”

W. P. Wilson, M.D. submitted his medical evaluation for the pension as follows:

State Of Ohio, Hancock County

I William P Wilson on oath say that I reside in Hancock County Ohio, and have been a physician and surgeon for more than fifteen years, and late pension surgeon for said county;  that I was well acquainted with William H Shively, late Serg. Co B 21^st Ohio Vols, before he entered said service and know that his health was at that time good,  that he was under my medical charge from the 10^th of May 1865 most of the time until his death which occurred on the 12^th day of April 1866.  That on the 10^th day of May 1865 he was suffering from derangement of the liver and chronic diarrhea, and that the chronic diarrhea continued until, and was the cause of his death.  That for a part of the time after he left the regiment he was in such condition as to walk about with tolerable cause, but he was at no time fit for labor to any considerable extent.  That I believe said disease was contracted in rebel prison at Andersonville, Georgia, and am satisfied that medical evidence of the origin of the disease cannot be obtained.  That I have no interest in the claim of Mary W Shively (his mother) for a pension, and personally know the above facts except where stated as matter of belief.                                    W.P. Wilson, MD

Mrs. Shively had been totally deaf for six years and it is supposed in her hurry to catch a street car she failed to look for trains.  She was killed instantly.

Mrs.  Shively, who was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Homan, was born in Milford on January 8, 1867.  Her marriage to Mr. Shively took place 34 years ago, and soon after they moved to Goshen.  Mr. Shively was employed a a foreman by the Goshen Novelty Co.  He was informed of the tragedy by a brother, Joseph C. Shively of this city, who had hurried to Goshen in his automobile.  Goshen friends decided it would be best to wait for his brother's coming before telling the husband of his bereavement.

Surviving Mrs. Shively besides her husband are two brothers, John W. Homan of Kokomo and Daniel Homan of this city, and four sisters, Mrs. Lorenzo Hall and Mrs. John Godschalk of this city, Mrs. William Tully of Nappanee and Mrs. Harvey Griffith of Milford.

The brother and sisters and the brothers-in-law, Joseph C. and Alonzo W. Shively of this city, all reached the stricken home within a short time after receiving news of the accident.

The following article appeared in The Patriot, Harrisburg, PA, Saturday, August 28, 1920, Page 1, Column 7:

Searching For Brother Lost For Five Years

William D. Shively of Longsdorf whose brother has been lost for five years, yesterday addressed an appeal to THE PATRIOT asking that he be given aid in his search.  His brother is Harvey H. Shively.  He was last heard from in Harrisburg about five years ago.  He was working here then as a carpenter.

In a related article from The Patriot, Harrisburg, PA, Thursday, January 13, 1921, Page 11, Column 2:

Seek Lost Brother

A "lost" brother, Harvey H. Shively, has been sought for over a year without success by relatives.  His brother, William D. Shively, who died on January 4 and was buried last Friday had long searched him.  William Shively lived in Dickinson and was ill only two hours before he died.  Other survivors are his wife and a son, Lester; and two sisters, Mrs. J. M. Landis,  of Brooklyn, and Mrs. A. L. Weaver, of Newville.

In Steelton, Dauphin County, PA in December 1915 Nicolo Kotur and Joso Bakic got into an argument.  Joso Bakic was found dead outside of the boarding house where they lived.   There are numerous articles in The Patriot relating to this murder.   In The Patriot, Harrisburg, PA, Tuesday, February 15, 1916, Page 1, Column 4  an article appeared that lists Harvey Shively as being present at the trial.  Not only was he present but as the article states he was pulled from being a spectator to being a member of the jury.  The article records:

At this point court adjourned.

Two spectators who entered the court room early yesterday afternoon did not get home last night.  They are Harvey H. Shively and William Metzgar, who were locked up with the rest of the jurors as the “guests” of Sheriff Caldwell.  They were picked from the audience after the regular panel had been exhausted. The other ten on the Kotur jury are:  John M. Madden, Millersburg, foreman; Joseph G. Beckwith, Seventh ward, city; George E. Eldridge, Ninth ward, city; Charles K. Hess, First ward, city; Henry W. Snyder, Ninth ward, city; Joseph Lutz, Thirteenth ward, city; Walter Liebfield, Derry township; Alpha Fraut, Steelton; John Dubbs, Hershey; and A. B. Gardner, city.

From the following article it is recorded that Harvey Shively and  fellow jurors found Nicholo Kotur guilty of first degree murder:

The Patriot, Harrisburg, PA, Thursday, February 17, 1916, Page 1, Column 3:

Guilty Of Murder In First Degree

Kotur, Angered At Verdict Of Jury, Becomes Sarcastic In Remarks

Nicholo Kotur will be the first person from Dauphin county to die in the electric chair, unless means can be found by his lawyers to stay the penalty for murder in the first degree, the verdict returned by a jury late yesterday afternoon after little more than an hour’s deliberation.  He was convicted of killing Joso Bakic, a fellow-countryman, in a Steelton boarding house last December 22.

As the jurors, one by one, solemnly pronounced the word “guilty” the first trace of emotion he has shown since his arrest stirred in Kotur.  The three days’ trial was utterly devoid of anything dramatic on his part, and the impression grew that he was ignorant of English.  But at its conclusion the doomed man sprang to his feet.

Hot With Anger

“Thank you, Mr. Jurors,” he cried in accents that rang clearly over a tense courtroom.

His voice vibrated and his face colored with hot passion.  Hs head dipped quickly in the mockery of a bow.

Under the scorn and hatred blazing in his narrow eyes a few jurors turned red.  Then he strode toward (continued on Page 12, Column 6)  the door was was led back to his cell across the alley, composed once more.  On his way he remarked simply to Deputy Sheriff Hoffman: “Good-bye, everybody.  I go chair all right, all for notting.”

Nicholo Kotur was given a second trial and in December 16, 1916 he was found guilty once more.  From The Patriot, Harrisburg, PA, Tuesday,  October 2, 1917, Page 5, Column 3:

Kotur Paye Death Penalty In Chair

Nicolo Kotur, convicted of the murder of Joso Bakic at Steelton on Christmas 1915, yesterday paid the penalty in the electric chair at the Center County Penitentiary.  He was electrocuted at 7:10 a.m.

Could it be that Harvey Shively being involved in this trial had something to do with the fact that he seems to have "been lost" to his family?  Harvey and wife Ella are listed on the 1910 Dauphin County, PA, city of Harrisburg census. Harvey or Ella could not be located on the 1920 census records. It appears that Harvey H. Shively may have relocated to Jefferson County, OH.  Located on the 1930 Jefferson County, Ohio, Village of Toronto, Island Creek Township, 405 Main Street is an entry for Harvey H Shively, age 50, widowed, occupation Carpenter, Furniture and in the household is John Armour, a roomer, age 61, single, occupation as a Laborer for a steel mill.  There is an Ohio death certificate for a Harvey Shively, age 66, who died in Jefferson County, Ohio on 1-July-1937.  He is listed as living in the "Jefferson County Home".  The informant for the information on the death certificate was L. W. Adrian, Superintendent of the Jefferson County Home.  Harvey's birth information and parents were listed as unknown.
