| Melody By H. A. Shively |
The sheet music for the song Wild Roses Blossom On The Hillside has words by O. E. Henry and melody by H. A. Shively. The song was published by H. A. Shively in Warren, Ohio.
O. E. Henry is probably Orrin E Henry who is listed in the Trumbull County, Ohio census record as being a musician. H. A. Shively was not as easy to locate. From research it is believed that H. A. Shively was Henry Albert Shively, son Abraham Shively and Hannah Flick. He is listed in 1860 and 1870 in Trumbull County, Ohio in his parents household and is listed as Henry A Shively. In 1880 he is listed in his parents household as Albert Shively. In 1900 he is living with his mother and is listed as Albert H. In 1910 he is living with his brother and family and is listed as H. A. Shively.
It is interesting that none of the census records for H. A. Shively list an occupation for him. On the 1880 census living in the household of Abraham and Susan Shively are children Albert age 35, Louis (daughter) age 33 and son William age 26. William (Solomon W. Shively) is listed as a dealer in music.
