For the approaching Pioneer picnic Mr. Shively had started to prepare a paper, but death stepped in and relieved him of his assumed duty. He was well and favorably known to many residents of town and country as a good and upright man, hard-working, industrious citizen, kind husband and father, and by his death, the family and a large circle of friends and acquaintances have occasion to mourn deeply.
