Communicated

        Ferndale, Feb 13th, 1893

ED ENTERPRISE:--A party of Ferndale gentlemen visited Scotia one day last week and had the great pleasure of viewing the redwoods and taking a short trip on Capt Harris' new steamer Ruth, piloted by Mr. Dan Shively. She is a pretty and staunch little craft, power being furnished by a gas engine manufactured by the Union Gas Engine Co, San Francisco. She makes head way against the current at the rate of three miles an hour, covering the entire distance between Stotia and Dyerville in about seven hours, and returning in less than two hours. She rides very smoothly and the machinery does not jar the boat in the least, nor make scarcely any noise. Her cargo the day of our trip consisted of three tons of freight, in addition to quite a list of passengers. Capt Harris is well pleased with his investment and feels sanguine of success. He informed us that he expected to be able to navigate Eel river as far up as the Robinson mill on the South Fork during every winter, and in summer would bring his boat down to the lower river and do service hereabouts. The little craft is 30 feet in length, has 11 feet beam, and draws an average of 18 inches. Her cost complete landed at Scotia was $3,000. If you think these few lines are worth publishing please give them a place in your much valued paper. Respectfully: PLEASURE-SEEKERS

The particulars of the Pascoe-Shively trouble at Rio Dell are given by the Rohnerville Herald as follows: "Dan Shively of Pepperwood and John  Pascoe of Bear river indulged in a social cutting scrape in Jim Berry's saloon at Rio Dell last Saturday night. It seems that Pascoe was going to have Shiveley arrested last fall but for some reason he failed to do so and bad blood has existed between the two ever since. Last Saturday night they met at Rio Dell, Pascoe pulled out his knife and cut Shively in the right cheek and under the left arm, the knife striking a bone and glancing off. Neither of the wounds were dangerous.

A Grand Surprise

Mr. Henry Shively, on of Merrick County's pioneers, was made the victim of one of the grandest and most successful surprises ever given in honor of one of her citizens. On Saturday morning Mr. S., after doing his chores, concluded to haul some hay. After arriving on the meadow and having part of a load on he observed a team turning in at his place of residence, at which he remarked to his helper that he guessed his neighbor was returning his fanning mill, but the people continued to pour in until the house was filled to its capacity, numbering about sixty persons, and not until the arrival of about half that number did he realize that is was in honor of his fifty-sixth birthday, making him fifty-five years old. After he had arrived with his load of hay the assembled multitude were in readiness to extend the hand of fellowship and regard. Great credit is due the host and hostess for the becoming reception and the efforts made to make the company comfortable and pleasant. The time was whiled away by the guests in discussing the merits of the host until dinner, at which time ye editor should have happened around. For those cakes, to the eye were "daisies", to the palate delicious, and to the parties who prepared them a great credit. And the chicken pie and other meats were palatable to an almost undesirable extent, and those delicacies -- well, we will let you imagine -- you know what they are. Concluding dinner the company (as many as could) occupied the larger room, at which time a handsome cash present was made the host as a token of the esteem and regard in which he is held by the pioneers of Clarksville and Mead precincts.  Esquire McGath was chosen was the one who should bestow the present and did so in a very commendable manner by offering a neat speech of good sentiment and well-selected words. Appropriate remarks were made by others who were present. Credit for the success of this grand reunion of pioneers is due the following, viz.: Mr. and Mrs. Benny Rose, Mr. and Mrs. Schrawger, Mr. and Mrs. Scudder, Mr. P.  L. Raynor, and Mr. Jas. Baird.

In conclusion we would say a general good time was had, which to describe in full would require too much space in your valuable columns and make every body wish his neighbor was made up of such men as Henry Shively.

News From Ashland, Oregon

Ashland, Ore., Oct. 27, Central City Record:-- I left Central City the 14th at night; nothing important to Laramie, which is a very nice looking city. I did not stop but twenty minutes; went to Granger, then took the Oregon Short Line.

Wyoming is a mountainous county. I did not see any level country until I struck Idaho, but there nothing grows but sage brush. Nice looking land and where they irrigate raise big crops of alfalfa. The land costs $35.50 an acre, with ten years to pay for it. When that country is settled it will be a nice country.

We came into Oregon along the Umatilla river. Can't see much for the mountains. We followed the river down to Portland and at 7 p.m. I took the Southern Pacific for Ashland. We went over the mountains into Gage Valley at 9 a.m. Central Point is 325 miles from Portland, elevation 1290. This is one of the greatest fruit countries I ever saw. Hemmed in by mountains a mile high they say it never freezes hard enough to freeze potatoes in the ground.

I have stopped on Neal Creek, seven miles south of Ashland. Work is plenty. A good place for wood chopping, as it is a lumber country. They have saw mills up in the mountains and run the lumber down in flumes to the railroad. I guess II had better stop by saying good bye to all my friends.

                                                                            Yours truly,

Mr. Henry Shively returned Saturday from Washington, where he has been visiting his daughter, Mrs. McGath, for about a year and a half. Mr. Shively says that after coming down through eastern Washington, Idaho and Wyoming, Nebraska looked mighty good to him. He says that they raise good wheat and oats and some fruit where his daughter lives, but not much else. They cannot irrigate and have to depend upon nautral rainfall only, which is scanty after the spring season. He thinks he prefers Nebraskt as a place to live.

John Shively And Second Wife, Susannah Christ/Crist Gussler/Gusler Who Lived In Franklin County, Virginia

It is exciting to share the following information with the Shively researchers. Ralph Arthur, Redford, VA writes: “My family tree is on the Arthur family and my wife’s Shively family.  I started working on the Arthur family with John Arthur of Goose Creek, who moved from Caroline County, Virginia, to Bedford County, Virginia, in 1754, and the Shively family with John Shively who moved from Frederick County, Maryland, to Franklin County, Virginia in 1790.  I have been working on my family tree and my wife’s since 1968. Before the Internet, I worked with family members and in county courthouses and local libraries. I have contributed to two books on related families.  Also, during the early 1980’s I did a lot of work with the Arthur Family Newsletter mainly with the sections:  the John Arthur of Goose Creek family in Bedford County, Virginia and the William Arthur of Flat Creek in Campbell County, Virginia. I have traced several of my family members and my wife’s back to Jamestown, Virginia, as early as 1609 and 1610. My father became the president of Ferrum College, and we moved to Franklin County, Virginia, in 1954, where I started fourth grade. All of my wife’s family are from Franklin County.”

Ralph Arthur did have two questions he would like to know if the Shively researchers could help him with the answers:

Do we know where exactly in Franklin County, Virginia that John and Susannah Shively lived? Was it on Shively Branch near the Shively Cemetery or on his 260 acres on Turner’s Creek?

Do we have copies of the properties that he owned in Franklin County? The only one I have is his first 260 acres on Turner’s Creek on Pigg River that he bought from Owen Ruble on 23-May-1790. This is not far from but isn’t the property on Shively Branch or at the Shively Cemetery.

John Shively And Susanna Christ/Crist Gussler/Gusler Who Moved To Franklin County, Virginia

By Ralph Arthur

(John Shively didn't die in 1790 in Frederick County, Maryland, he and the widow, Gusler, ran away to Franklin County, Virginia, and became the progenitors of the Shively and Gusler families in Virginia) 

Ulrich "Uhli" Schäublin/Shively, son of Christian Schäublin/Shively and Barbara Spithaler/Spitler, was born estimated Oct 1724 and died before 1768 in Frederick, County, Maryland. Uhli emigrated as a youth of 14 with his parent's family, leaving Basel Switzerland 28 Apr 1736 and arriving in Philadelphia where the adult passengers took the oaths 15 September of that year. His wife, Elsbeth "Elizabeth" Thommen, was quite young when they married, for on 16 Oct 1745, when she was only 18, they sold her father's farm. Whether or not her mother Barbara was still living we don't know, she may have come to live with Elizabeth and her husband after the sale of the family home. 

Uhli next appears in the land records 27 Sep 1752 when, recorded as "William" Shively, he purchased 300 acres of a tract of land called Three Friends or Three Rivers in Frederick County, Maryland, for £185 from John and Ann Jones of the same county [Recorded 24 Nov 1752, Frederick County Deed Liber E, Folio 2-4]. In the Fellowship of the Brethren Genealogists Newsletter [v. 24, no. 3, Fall, 1992, pg. 42] the location of the tract is listed as the small town of Fairview, which is near the Mason-Dixon Line in Maryland. It is about eight miles northwest of Hagerstown, and on the banks of Conococheague Creek. One might suspect that Uhli's name Three Rivers refers to the Conococheague Creek, the Antietam Creek and Potomac River, the latter two flowing less than ten miles from his land. 

The seven children of Ulrich "Uhli" and Elsbeth "Elizabeth" (Thommen) Schäublin/Shively: Christian, Jacob, Elizabeth, Eva, Isaac D., John and Catherine. 

1 Shively, Christian was born about 1745 in Lancaster, Pennsylvania and died about 1834 in Montgomery, Ohio. 

2 Shively, Jacob was born about 1747 in Lancaster, Pennsylvania and died after 3 Feb 1814 in Osnaburg, Stark, Ohio. 

3 Shively, Elizabeth was born about 1751. 

4 Shively, Eva was born about 1756. She and Gottlieb Seidel were married 1778 in Frederick, Maryland. 

5 Shively, Isaac D. was born about 1759 in Frederick and died 1823 in Montgomery, Ohio. 

6 Shively, John was born about 1761 and "died before 6 Nov 1790". ((This is what has been written for years, but it is incorrect)) He and Catharine Troup were married before 6 Apr 1786 in Frederick, Maryland. Catharine was born estimated Feb 1764. She was the daughter of Adam and Catharina? (____) Troup. 

7 Shively, Catherine was born 1764 and died 1844. She and Johannes Zook were married about 1787. Catherine and Johannes moved in 1789 to Morrison's Cove, Bedford, Pennsylvania, and in 1828 to Wayne County, Indiana. 

There was a John Shively, private for 3 years, in the German Regiment from Maryland 27 Jun 1776, and in White Plains 5 Sep 1778
[ Pennsylvania Germans in Maryland, Daniel Nead, 1914]. The "German Battalion" was an infantry formation of the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War. Authorized in May 1776 as an extra Continental regiment, the battalion recruited ethnic Germans from two Maryland areas and two Pennsylvania areas. The two Maryland regiments were composed of soldiers from near Baltimore and near Hagerstown. John Shively was in the Hagerstown regiment, as he lived within 8 miles of Hagerstown. His Revolutionary service may sometimes be confused with that of his cousin's, John Shively, son of Christen Schaeublin II 1718-1773. 

John Shively’s father-in-law, Adam Troup, wrote his will 6 Apr 1786 which was proved 16 June of that year. In it Adam wrote "my son David Troup and my son in law John Shively is to live in said plantation and to work it until it be sold..., the one to live in the house with my wife and the other in the house where Jacob Teeter now lives, and til he leaves, that house in [which] the widow Beard did live as they can agree." It is to be hoped that they were, in fact, able to agree. By 6 Nov 1790, however, distribution of the estate to the widow and other heirs listed his daughter Catherine (Troup) Shively and her sons Isaac and Adam, ((so that John was thought dead by that date.)) Catherine received 66£ 2sh 9 1/4p at that time. 

Back to John Shively, by 6 Nov 1790, however, for the distribution of his father-in-law's estate to his wife and two sons, Isaac and Adam, John Shively had disappeared and was thought dead. There are many stories about about early settlers going hunting and being killed by Indians. While all of his brothers and sisters lived in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Maryland, John had, about six months earlier on 23 May 1790, bought land in Franklin County, Virginia. John Shively moved to Franklin County around 1790 from Frederich County, MD, as stated in Franklin Co. Deed Book 3, page 684. He, resident of Frederick Co., MD, bought land on Turner's Creek of Pigg River in Franklin Co. 23 May 1790, from Owen Ruble $750, 260A. A great many Germans moved from Frederick County, Maryland, to Franklin County, Virginia, before and after the Revolution. They had originally, come from Switzerland and Germany, and were or became members of the Old German Baptist Brethren Church in Franklin, Roanoke, and Botetourt Counties in Virginia. 

John Shively, the first Shively in Franklin County, probably lived on or near Shively Branch of Otter Creek near the Shively Cemetery (36.920863 x 80.137084) on Griffith Hill Road, County Route 637. This is in the Endicott community in the far southwestern corner of Franklin County about 8 or 9 miles southwest of Ferrum near the borders with Henry and Patrick Counties and just north of the Smith River. 

After not showing up for his father-in-laws estate distribution and leaving his first wife, Catherine Troup and their two young sons, on 6 Nov 1790, he shows up in Franklin County, Virginia, in 1790 with a new wife, Susannah Christ/Crist, the former wife of Christian Friederich Gossler/Gusler who had died in 1789, and two of her five children, Jacob Gossler/Gusler and Johannes “John” Gossler/Gusler. The other three children, Heinrich Gossler-Gusler, Susan Gossler-Gusler, and Catharina Gossler-Gusler show up later in Berks County and Huntingdon County, PA. 

It’s interesting to note that previous genealogies list both John Shively and Susannah Christ/Crist (Gussler/Gusler) dying in 1790, the year they disappeared from their homes and showed up in Franklin County, Virginia. 

John Shively and his second wife, Susannah Christ/Crist (Gussler/Gusler) are the progenitors of the Shively family in Franklin County, Virginia. They had four sons after they arrived in Franklin County, Isaac 1793-1871, David 1795-?, Daniel 1796-1880, and William 1804-1895. Also, Susannah Christ/ Crist (Gussler/Gusler) and her two sons are the first of the Gusler family in this area of Virginia. 

Backing up this story is my wife’s, Sarah Elizabeth Shively’s, DNA. She has 71 DNA matches with John Shively and four of his siblings and 73 DNA matches with Susannah Christ/Crist and four or five of her siblings.

Meningitis Of Brain Fatal To Chas. Shively

Sixteen Year Old Son Of Mr. And Mrs. Ben Shively Passes Wednesday

Meningitis of the brain proved fatal to Charles B. Shively, 16 year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Benj. Shively, of Jefferson street, at two o'clock Wednesday afternoon and the announcement of his passing brought wide spread sorrow.

The young man had been critically ill since Sunday when meningitis developed. He had suffered with tonsilitis within the past two weeks but his throat condition had seemingly cleared up when the complication which claimed his life set in.

He was known as the youth of the city as "Chuck" and was an outstanding member of the class which would enter the Junior year at Sidney high school next fall.  He took an active interest in the various activities of school life and was a member of the high school band and orchestra, playing the French horn. He was a member of the St. Paul's Evangelical Church and Sunday school.

Charles Shively was born in Sidney, a son of Benj. and the late Mrs. Maude Emley Shively, his mother passing away eight years ago.

Surviving with his father, and stepmother, are two brothers, Ernest and James Shively, one sister, Mrs. Richard Hess, and two half brothers, Joe and Philip Shively.

Funeral arrangements have not yet been completed.
