At 100, S. F. Woman Busy In Red Cross
Although she marked her 100th birthday anniversary Sunday, July 16, Mrs. Jacob Shively of Sanitarium, Cal., fills her days with Red Cross activities and handiwork and maintains a keen interest in war happenings and the Presidential election.
A birthday celebration in her honor was held at the home of her daughter, Dr. Ida S. Nelson of Sanitarium. Mrs. Shively was a resident of Clark county, Iowa, for 69 years before making her home in this State.
Mrs. Shively's five living children are: Mrs. Edith S. Halvorsen and Dr. Ida S. Nelson of Sanitarium; Mrs. W. E. Nelson, Washington, D. C.; John Shively, Osceola, Iowa and Dr. J. Dow Shively of Clinton, Mo.
Abstaining from tea, coffee, tobacco and alcoholic beverages are all factors to which Mrs. Shively, a vegetarian, attributes her long life.

Obituary
Jennie Hazel Decker was born in the city of New York, June 20th, 1896, and died at her home in Lucas, Iowa, on Sunday April 22nd, 1917. She was the daughter of George and Jennie Decker. Being left an orphan at the age of four, she made her home near Woodbury, Iowa, with Jacob and Hattie Shively. She was a kind, obedient and affectionate child, and was much loved by those who had her under their care, and by all who knew her. On September 12th, 1909, she was baptized and united in full faith with the Seventh Day Adventist church at Woodbury. To this faith she was devoted and true to the close of her life.
On July 4th, 1915, she was married to David Ora Cook. To his union came a little son to brighten their home, David Andrew, born July 30th, 1916. She was a true, loving, faithful wife and an affectionate and devoted mother. During her last sickness she was very patient. Everything was done that loving hands could to to relieve her. Her friends who could not come longed to be by her side and administer to her wants and needs and alleviate her sufferings.
She leaves to mourn, aside from her husband and darling baby, two brothers, James, who is in New Jersey, and William, who is here. The Shively family will miss her greatly, for they loved her as their own. Words cannot express the sorrow that friends feel at their loss, but they hope to meet her again on the resurrection morning.
