Shively Funeral At Mr. Summit Christian Church

MT. SUMMIT, Ind. -- Funeral services were held Monday at the Christian Church for Salem Leonard Shively, 91, who died in Henry County Hospital after having suffered a broken hip in a fall three weeks ago. He resided on the Shively home place east of Mt. Summit, where his grandfather, Phillip, settled in 1812.

Called the "father" of Memorial Park, he was president of the park board four decades after he and the late Maurice C. Goodwin of New Castle had proposed that money remaining in the county's World War I Chest be used to establish a park.

Shively engaged in faming in the Mt. Summit community after his marriage to Marie Teeter in 1897 and later became a livestock buyer and shipper in partnership with Frank Seeley and after Seeley's death with his nephew, Harry Shively. An original stockholder in the Mt. Summit State Bank, he served as its president until its merger with the Citizens State Bank of New Castle. He was a active worker in the Republican party.

Immediate survivors include a daughter-in-law, Mrs. Lee Igo, and a grandson, Salem Shively II, Mt. Summit and two stepgrandsons, Jerry Younce, New Castle, and Bradley Younce, Los Angeles. Mrs. Shively died in 1923. Their only, child, Eugene, was killed in an automobile accident in 1928.
