Heart Attack Takes Life Of Business Man

Well Known Citizen Had Lived Here Many Years

Charles W. Shively, Ravenna business man, died very suddenly at his home, West Main street, at the hour of 8:35 o'clock, Tuesday morning, following a heart attack which developed shortly after he arose from the breakfast table.

He complained of a feeling of physical distress in his left side, but after resting for a time, said he felt better, and went to his filling station at the front of his residence. Soon afterward he experienced another attack and returned to the house, where his condition became rapidly worse to the end. He had been in apparent health and there was nothing to indicate the approaching stroke up to the moment of the sudden prostration.

Loyal Citizen

In the passing of Charles Wilson Shively Ravenna has lost a sterling citizen and the community a Christian gentleman, who gave himself to the promotion of its higher welfare. Whenever assistance was needed in the work of bettering conditions for social and moral uplift, he was there with ready response and willing hand. Briefly, it may be said of him that he tried to live to his ideals, which was a friend of his fellow man, a loyal citizen worthy of the high esteem in which he was held. His presence in the community was an asset and an inspiration.

He was born at Diamond Station in Palmyra township, March 28, 1881, son of Elijah and Margaret Wilson Shively where the family lived several years before going to Alliance, where his father died. The mother came to Ravenna with her two children some time afterward, where he attended high school. He then started to make his own livelihood, entering the employ of S. M. Reimold, Ravenna merchant and of the widely known dry goods house of D. M. Clewell. In 1906 he entered the mercantile business for himself in which he continued for many years until opening an Art Shop and Team Room on North Chestnut street from which he recently retired to open a filling station on his home premises.
