Solomon Shively Dead

Mention was made in our last issue of the frightful fall of Solomon Shively from his hay mow on Monday evening and the dangerous condition of his injuries. He died about ten o'clock Thursday night having never regained consciousness.  From the first the doctors pronounced his injuries fatal but as he continued to live his family wanted everything done that might save his life. Dr. McCaskey, of Fort Wayne, was sent for and with Dr. Lancaster, of this city, performed an operation by which a portion of the injured man's skull was cut out and some clotted blood removed from his brain. The operation, we are told, had no perceptible effect on the patient and he still continued in a comatose condition, death resulting as above stated.

The deceased was a man aged 43 years,  8 months and 14 days at the time of his death, having resided in this community all his life. He leaves a wife and four children, besides a number of brothers and other relatives to mourn his death. Funeral took place Saturday forenoon at ten o'clock at the old Dunkard church a mile west of town. Elders Balsley and Jacob Mishler officiating.

Shively--The funeral of J. J. Shively was held at 10 o'clock yesterday morning from the residence of his daughter, Mrs. Lee Metcalf, at Illiopolis. A quartette consisting of Mrs. Harry Dickerson, Miss Fairie McCoskle, William Matthews and Thomas Chamberlain, sang several selections.  The sheriff and deputy sheriffs of Sangamon county attended in a body and placed on the bier a beautiful floral design.

The internment was made in a cemetery near Rochester. The pallbearers were H. C. Roberts, William Matthews, Alexander Kinehan, John Shelber and Harry Faith of Illiopolis, and Charles Clendenin of this city.

J. J. Shively was born at Canton, O., September 12, 1834 and died at Springfield, Ill., July 27, 1909, aged 74 years, 10 months and 15 days.

He moved to Iowa with his parents early in life, but at the beginning of the civil war he went to Virginia, in the employment of the government and there he married Emma W. Derry, January 31, 1864.

At the close of the ware they moved to Illinois, where they resided until 1881, in which year they moved to Iowa where his wife died November 26, 1889. This union was blessed by seven children, two of whom, Mrs. Clara Metcalf and Miss Nora B. Shively, together with two brothers, three sisters and two grand children still survive him.

At the beginning of the civil war he heard and responded to his country's all and offered his services in the defense of its flag, but was refused enlistment on account of bodily injuries. Unable to overcome this, and still moved with loyalty, patriotism and love of home and country, he did all that that he could do and entered the employment of the government remaining until the close of the war.

While thus engaged he was with the Army of the Potomac and suffered many of the privations and dangers incident to the movements of that great army, among which was months of sickness in the army hospital.

Early in life he obeyed the commands of his Savior and united with the Methodist church, since which time he has lived a conscientious, consistent, constant, upright, christian life. All through his long active life he encountered many difficulties, but conquered them all by his christian fortitude and patience. His Bible was his sweetest companion and to it he always went for solace and for comfort. Profane, vulgar or harsh words had no placement in his language. With a keen sense of duty he always tried to do all things well. Quiet, reserved, and ever considerate of others, his memory will be cherished the most by those who loved him and who knew him best.

"Grandpa" Shively led an earnest, honest christian life.

With confidence and trust he rested his faith and hopes on the Rock, Christ Jesus, and leaning hard on the promises of the world's Saviour, he passed calmly and without fear from death and darkness into eternal sunshine and life everlasting.

The newspaper obituary for Clara Shively Metcalf follows. It is believed that the parents of Clara Shively are incorrectly listed in the article.   She was the daughter of Johnathan J. Shively and Emma W. Derry (Dairy). Located in the Daily Illinois State Journal, Springfield, Illinois, Sunday, February 8, 1925, Page 11, Column 1:

Charley Shively, one of the pivotal figures in the Gay Liberation Movement, died Friday, October 6th at the Cambridge Rehabilitation and Nursing Home, in Cambridge, Massachusetts. He had been a resident since June 2011, suffering from Alzheimer's. He would have been 80 on December 8th 2017.

At the 1977 Boston Gay Pride march, Shively became infamous for his burning of the Bible as well as his insurance policy, Harvard diploma and teaching contract -- as a protest against oppressive institutions. This act of incendiary and effective political theater - it nearly caused a riot - later obscured his work as an organizer, scholar, poet and publisher.

Born in poverty in Gobbler's Knob, Ohio in 1937, Shively excelled in high school and entered Harvard College in 1955. After being granted a Masters in History at the University of Wisconsin in 1959, he entered the Ph.D. program in History at Harvard. During this time he worked at Boston State College where he was active in New University Congress, anti-war working groups in the American Historical Association, and other anti-Vietnam war activities. His graduation from Harvard in June of 1969 coincided with the Stonewall Riots; that summer Shively began what was to be his life's work: Gay Liberation. His vision of Gay Liberation was deeply, and uniquely, inflected by his study of, and belief, in anarchism. After helping form Gay Men's Liberation in Boston he worked on the first issue of Lavender Vision, a 1970 co-gendered Gay Liberation newspaper, and a year later helped form the Fag Rag collective, which published the first national post-Stonewall gay political journal.

In Fag Rag Shively published a series of twelve essays that became foundational to post-Stonewall gay male political theorizing. Written in a conversational tone with a mixture of personal confession, everyday anecdote, Karl Marx, Herbert Marcuse, Mikhail Bakunin, Kate Millett and Shulamith Firestone, these influential pieces became canonical. During the next decade the ever-changing "Fag Rag" collective was held together by Shively's presence and persistence. He was also responsible for founding Fag Rag Books, the Good Gay Poets collective and Press (which published noted poets such as John Wieners and Ruth Weiss) and Boston Gay Review, a journal of cultural criticism.

Along with his political essays Shively's academic work included the six volume edited Collected Works of Lysander Spooner (1971) - a nineteenth century social anarchist - and A History of the Conception of Death in America, 1650-1860, his doctoral dissertation (1987). His groundbreaking research on Walt Whitman resulted in two books - Calamus Lovers: Walt Whitman's Working Class Camerados (1987) and Drum Beats: Walt Whitman's Civil War Boy Lovers (1989) - which he viewed as an expression of political commitment as well as academic research. A lifelong poet - he first published poems in high school - Shively wrote at least one poem a day. His Nuestra Senora de los Dolores: the San Francisco Experience was published in 1975. He was active in the Boston poetry scene, particuarly Stone Soup Poets. Shively understood himself primarily as a poet - his poems were spare, imagist, almost religious -  a word he would have rejected - and mystical in their intensity. He leaves three finished poetry manuscripts.

During the 1970s and 1980s he was involved in numerous LGBT organizations, was  founding member of Gay and Lesbian Advocates and Defenders, and along with Fag Rag, wrote frequently for Gay Community News, Gay Sunshine, The Guide, and poetry journals. Almost always dressed in overalls, and speaking in his slow, southern Ohio drawl - an inflection he often used for ironic effect as he made his arguments - he was a ubiquitous figure at political meetings and rallies. During this time, he taught full time, traveled to Kenya, Ecuador and Vietnam on three Fulbrights, and was hired as a tenured professor at University of Massachusetts-Boston in the American Studies Program, after Boston State closed in 1982.

Shively's partner beginning in 1964, Gordon Copeland, died in 1994, the year Shively was diagnosed with HIV. He retired from University of Massachusetts in 2001 and began exhibiting signs of Alzheimer's a few years later. During this time he traveled to Paris to do research on homosexuality and the French Revolution.

Charles Shively's legacy in his writings, and also in the example of his insistent refusal - always with humor - to follow the rules, and often not even to acknowledge them.
