Mrs. Anna (Rivers) Shively

Former Huntingdon resident, was 112

A former Huntingdon resident and one of the oldest persons in Pennsylvania, Lou Anna (Rivers) Shively, 112, died at 12:15 a.m. Sunday, June 7, 1992, at the Brethren Village at Neffsville,, Lancaster County, where she had resided.

Born May 14, 1880, in Russiaville, Ind., she was the daughter of the late James A. and Josephine (Bell) Rivers.  On April 17, 1904, at Kokomo, Ind., she married Dr. Charles Stacey Shively, a member of the faculty at Juniata College from 1920-42 and 1945-50 and former head of the Department of Mathematics and Physics there.  Dr. Shively died Sept. 15, 1958.

The Shivelys had lived for many years along Cold Springs Road and then at 1722 Washington St., Huntingdon.

Surviving are two children:  Dr. Arthur W. Shively of Lancaster and Mrs. Herman M. (Ethyl) Brookwalter, Shippensburg; three grandchildren; and six great-grandchildren.

She was the last surviving member of her immediate family, having been preceded in death by three brothers.

Mrs. Shively was a member of the Church of the Brethren, Shippensburg.

Mrs. Shively, shortly after her marriage, moved to the island of Guimeras, the Philippins, where she taught in one of the newly established English language schools and Dr. Shively served as supervisor of schools.  After returning to the United States in 1906, they lived in Kansas, Colorado and California, before moving to Huntingdon in September 1920, when Dr. Shively joined the faculty of Juniata College.  In addition to his work at the college, they continued to travel widely.  One year, 1929-30, was spent traveling in Europe.

During the 48 years she lived in Huntingdon, Mrs. Shively was active in numerous groups at the college and in the community, especially the Women’s League of Juniata College.  Always busy, she was one of founding members of the former Reed Club and was also widely known as a gardener—raising vegetables, flowers and fruits—herbalist, ceramics artist and avid bird watcher/naturalist.  For many years, too, she fired ceramics for Juniata art students.  She is remembered by many persons as one who was quick to extend a helping hand to others--even in her later years.

After moving to Shippensburg to live with her daughter in 1968, Mrs. Shively maintained a lively correspondence with her many friends in the Huntingdon area until failing health forced her to stop.  She also lived in Sebring, Fla., for three years before movning to the Neffsville Brethren Village 15 years ago.

At age 104, Mrs. Shively won two first place awards in a cooking contest sponsored by the Food Service Department at the Village and she was also a “poster girl” for a statewide campaign urging senior citizens to vote.

Funeral services will be held at 2 p.m. Thursday, June 11, at the John B. Brown Funeral Home, Huntingdon, with the Rev. Alan E. Miller officiating.  Entombment will be in Riverview Mausoleum, Huntingdon.

Friends may call at the funeral home for one hour prior to the service on Thursday
