Death Of G. W. Shiveley

George W. Shiveley died at his home in Nemaha early Monday morning, September 8, 1902, age 59 years, 9 months and 14 days. He has suffered for some time from heart disease, which caused his death. A few weeks ago he went to Omaha and consulted specialists, but they gave him no relief. He realized that death was near and made his arrangements accordingly.

Mr. Shiveley was born in Adams county, Ohio, Dec. 25, 1842. He was married to Miss Paulina J. Nelson in 1864. To this union were born, four of whom died in infancy. His first wife died in 1874. In 1875 he married Mrs. Susan Robinson. To this union six children were born, four boys and two girls, all of whom survive him. He leaves a wife and eight children.

Mr. Shiveley was a man of integrity and was highly respected. He moved on a farm in Aspinwall precinct about twelve years ago, living there until last year, when he bought property in Nemaha and moved here.

The funeral services, conducted by Rev. T. C. Diltz of Brownville, were held at the Prairie Union church on Tuesday, September 9, 1902, and the remains laid at rest in the cemetery at that place. The bereaved wife and children have our sympathy.
