Death Of Hon. John Shively

On last Friday morning a telegram was received here announcing the sudden death of Hon. John Shively, of Duncannon, the Democratic candidate for Assembly. Later, another dispatch said he was not dead but in a very critical condition. In the afternoon James Mutzebaugh, and adopted son, came up and brought the gratifying intelligence that he was much better and that there were hopes of his recovery, but at about 12 o'clock that night his spirit took its flight and the sad intelligence was wired here on Saturday morning.

His sudden call to the other world was a great surprise to his many friends and men of all parties expressed their sorrow at this unexpected demise. He had been her on Wednesday, apparently in excellent health, though he said to us that he was not feeling very well, attributing the trouble in his stomach and bowels to a drink of sweet cider he had taken a few days before. We have no particulars attending his last hours on earth, other than inflammation of the stomach and bowels was the primary cause of his death.

Mr. Shively was elected Sheriff of this county in 1862, and in 1868 and 1869 represented this county in the House of Representatives of Pennsylvania. He served his constituency faithfully and was again nominated fro the General Assembly by the recent Democratic County Convention. His prospects of election were good and he thus expressed himself to us when we met him her on Wednesday of last week.

We were on the ticket with him in 1862 - he for Sheriff and we for Assembly - and both of us were elected. In that campaign we found him to be all that one colleague could expect of another --fair, square and honorable. That that time he was a resident of Jackson township, and was very popular where he was best known. Had he lived he would have received much more than his party vote in Duncannon, Penn and Wheatfield and, we think, have been again elected to the Legislature.

In his personal and domestic relations he was affable and obliging. He leaves a  widow, a son and a daughter to mourn the loss of a devoted husband and a kind father. He was aged 64 years. His funeral takes place to day (Wednesday) and will be largely attended.

We have learned since the above was put in type that Mr. Shively's disease was in the bowels and that it took the form of violent cholera morbus, followed by collapse and paralysis of the brain. It was a case very much like genuine cholera.

Alfred Shively Who Lived In Wood County, Ohio And Died During The Civil War In Chickamauga, Walker County, Georgia

Alfred Shively was born 9-Sep-1835 Bowling Green, Wood County, OH and died 20-Sep-1863 in Chickamauga, Walker County, GA.  He was the son of Henry Ambrose Shively (born 28-May-1802 in Union County, PA and died 5-Mar-1886 Wood County, OH) and Margaret McCartney (born 10-Mar-1804 and died 5-May-1879).  Alfred Shively entered service in Macon County, IL on 11-Aug-1862 and mustered in on 13-Sep-1862 at Camp Butler, IL. He was a Private in Company F, 115th Illinois Infantry. He was listed as being 5' 9", Light hair, Gray Eyes and Dark Complexion.

In Memoriam

(A few days ago since we received a letter postmarked "Vicksburg, Miss., Nov. 10," which contained the following obituary notice of Alfred Shively -- son of Henry Shively, Esg., of Bowling Green, this county --who was killed at the battle of Chicmauga. Except the postmark, there was nothing about the letter to show from whence it came. We do not know the author's name, but believing it to be the heartfelt tribute of a solider to one of Wood County's gallant sons who fell in the service of his country, we gladly publish it. --Eds-Journal.)

OBITUARY.  Alfred Shively, who fell at the battle of Chicamauga, in Northern Georgia, was well and favorably known to many in this community. He came among us a stranger, but his honest, manly face and frank, gentlemanly bearing, soon won for him good and true friends--such only as the good and true are capable of winning. No man ever distrusted him, or had cause of distrust. The golden rule was to him the law of life, and no one could know him without feeling that the world was the better for his living in it He left his plow, and the peaceful pursuits of the farmer, for the battlefield--not, as he said, from choice, but because his country had a right to claim his services, and they should not be withheld, whatever might be the sacrifice on his part. In his last letter, written the day before the battle, he says: "do not give yourselves any unnecessary trouble in regard to me. If it be my lot to fall in battle, rest assured that I shall fall at my post of duty. I shall never disgrace my friends nor the cause I am fighting for, but will do my duty as a true patriot and lover of my country, and the glorious old flag that is now unfurled to the breeze, and under whose shadow I now write". As to how well he kept his promise, let his brave companions in arms testify. His last words were, "Come on, boys, the day is ours; the enemy is retreating"!

Beneath the far-off battle field he rests quietly and well.  He leaves a large circle of friends to mourn his loss, which is deeply felt. His brother he often spoke of, and seemed to have a great anxiety for his welfare. He is highly spoken of by his officers, as a true patriot and a good soldier.

In Memoriam

Among the many who laid down their lives for their country, on the bloody field of Chicamauga, was Alfred Shively, son of Henry Shively, Esq., of this place. In his death, his parents and community have sustained a severe loss. No more worthy young man ever lived. He was one who made warm friends wherever he went. At the time of his enlistment he resided in Illinois, and his employers tried to persuade them not to leave. Said he: "When I see men with families turning out to defend my country, I cannot stay behind". His memory will every be fondly cherished by all who knew him. May He who tempers the wind to the shorn lamb, sustain and comfort his aged parents to this their hour of affliction. And in view of the new call for more men to crush this infernal rebellion, may our young men remember the example set them by young Shively, and "go and do likewise".          W. R. P.

Death Of The Oldest Person On Our Subscription List

William Sheibley, of Elliottsburg, died at his residence in that village on last Wednesday morning. He was probably the oldest person in the county, having been born April 27, 1800 - the year of Thomas Jefferson's first election to the presidency of the United States. He was a farmer and led a peaceful life; a citizen of irreproachable character; a neighbor who was always kind to hose who needed his assistance; a Democrat who understood the principles of his party and voted for its candidates; a consistent member of the Reformed church and lived the life of a Christian. He had been a subscriber to The Democrat since June, 1856, and although he could not see to read the paper for a year or two before his death, continued to receive it to the day of his demise, having others to tell hime all the important news it contained. Having lived through all the administrations of the government except those of George Washington and John Adams, he had the almost exceptional opportunity of seeing his country grow from sixteen sparsely settled commonwealths to a great Republic, extending from the Atlantic to the Pacific, embracing forty-four States, with a population of more than sixty-two millions. The funeral took place on Saturday. Services were held at the late residence of the deceased and then the remains were taken to the Reformed church, where Rev. Mr. House, of Landisburg, delivered an eloquent and impressive sermon. His text was the 1st verse of the 38th chapter of Isaih: "Set thine house in order, for thou shalt die and not live". The interment was in the Union burial ground and the procession to the grave was composed of a large number of relatives, friends and acquaintances of the deceased, a number of whom were from this borough. Mr. Sheibley was aged 92 years, 7 months and 3 days. He was an uncle of Hon. D. H. Sheibley, of this borough, and of Dr. Sheibley, of Landisburg.

Peter Sheibley Who Lived In Perry County, Pennsylvania

The following article was found in The Perry County Democrat, Bloomfield, Perry County, Pennsylvania, Wednesday, March 17, 1926, Page 1, Columns 6-7:

Ancestors, Perry County Chapter, D.A.R.

By Charlotte J. Barnett, Historian

Peter Scheibley

It very often happens that there is a variation in the spelling of family names from early days to present time. The family name of the Sheibleys had an unusual number of variations. Five different spellings of the name are found in the deeds, inscriptions and other records: Scheibly, Shively, Sheifly, Sheifley and Scheibley. The spelling of the name in his old family Bible is Scheibly, and the same is used in the inscription on his tombstone. The spelling used by his descendants in Perry county is Sheibley.

Peter Scheibly was born April 10, 1742, in Switzerland, of German parentage, according to the most reliable family traditions. One descendant, however, claims that he was a Swiss Huguenot, which would indicate a French parentage.

He came to this country "at an early age" with two brothers, as  a Redemptioner. He settled in Berks county, where he lived before and during the Revolutionary War. Several other counties are mentioned, by different descendants as his place of residence.

There are five references to Peter Scheibly (Scheifly) in the Pennsylvania Archives. Three of these record him as a private in the Sixth Battalion, Northampton County Militia, in 1781. The fourth reference gives the date as 1787, evidently a typographical error, and the fifth is a record of his receiving depreciation pay for services on the Continental Line, Northampton County Militia.

It had always been a matter of family tradition among his descendants that he was a Revolutionary soldier, but these references to him as a soldier in the Continental Army given in the Archives, are the official proof of traditions of descendants and friends.

Those who lived in Revolutionary times were called upon to endure many hardships. They had hardships and discouragements in addition to the hardships of war.

Peter Scheibly owned a farm in Berks county.  About 1780 he sold this farm and received payment for it in Continental money, which soon became worthless, which meant the loss of his farm.

But the pioneers were a necessity men who were not easily discouraged. So he took a fresh start, when almost fifty years old.  He came to what was then Cumberland county, now Perry county, where he bought a farm, known as the Henry Kline farm in Tyrone township, in 1789, and took up his residence there. At one time he owned 691 acres of land.

In 1802, he bought the farm near Greenpark, which has ever since been known as the Peter  Scheibly farm. The old farmhouse at Greenpark in which he lived is still standing and is occupied by his son-in-law's great-grandson, Edgar A. Stambaugh. On this farm was Stambaugh's Woods, for many years a favorite picnic ground.

At his death his estate was valued at more than $20,000, which in those days, would make him a comparatively wealthy man, and he accumulated this amount in spite of his early loss.

He died September 7, 1823. He was twice married, and, according to the inscription on his tombstone, he was the father of twenty children. He and his second wife are buried side by side in the Union graveyard at Loysville. The inscription on his tombstone is in German and on that of his wife in English.

Like so many of the pioneers of Perry county, Peter Scheibly was devoted to the church and took an active part in the founding of churches. Shortly after he came to Perry county, the Lebanon Church at Loysville was built, and he was one of the building committee, and one of the trustees to whom the land for church purposes was deeded.

He was said by his older descendants to have been a very religious man. His family Bible is still in the possession of one of his descendants. It is of very large size, heavy, and strongly bound, and is in perfect condition.It was printed in German, in 1788, from Luther's translation made in 1534. It contains many illustrations.

Sixteen of his twenty children married and raised large families. Elizabeth, (Mrs. Jacob Stambaugh) never had any children.

The family of Peter Scheibly was one of the prominent pioneer families of the county. His descendants have intermarried with other large Perry county clans. Many of his descendants are found in Perry county and in other parts of Pennsylvania, and in practically all the States of the Union. They include men and women prominent in Church and State, ministers, physicians, and other professional men, law-makers, editors and business men. Several legislators from Perry county were his descendants and the founder of the Advocate and Press was his grandson.

HIs example in fighting for his country has been followed by his descendants, and many of them were found among the soldiers of the War of 1812, the Civil War and the World War.

A very complete genealogical history of the family was published in 1924, by his great-granddaughter, Mrs. Laura Wilhide Johnston. The book entitled "Descendants of My Great-Grandparents". In Mrs. Johnston's family are two professional men and on professional woman.

Peter Scheibly is represented in the Perry County Chapter, D.A.R., by the Regent, Mrs. Laura Willhide Johnston, and her daughter, Dr. Catharine Johnston; by the Treasurer, Mrs. Mary Kline Patterson, by the Chaplain, Miss M. Zula Swartz, by Mrs. Olevia Kistler Rickard, a director in the chapter; Miss Gertrude English, Miss Martha Kline English, Mrs. LaRue Ritter Fickes, Mrs. Isabelle Burd Newlin and Mrs. Maude Eudora Ritter. Several other applications for membership have been made on his record.

Peter Scheibly's official Revolutionary war record had been sought by men and women for many years without success. Since the publication of his genealogy, the record in it has been used by many in different places outside of Perry county. Among them are: Miss Nell Nace, Chambersburg; Misses May and Louise Naugle, Fremonth, Ohio; Mrs Lulu Gay (Mowery) Foulk, Youngstown, Ohio; her daughter, Mrs. Carl KcKee, Sharon, Pa,; Dr. Will H. Whistler, Cleveland, Ohio, and Mr. Henry Wentz, Shelby, Ohio.
