This site was created by Larry Shively who is researching the history of the Shively families. The goal is to have a site where all Shively researchers can share and ask questions in regards to their Shively lines. The largest majority of the Shively family records are located in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana. There are early records of Shively's also in Virginia and Kentucky. There are not many established Shively lineages back to Europe. There are documented lineages to Switzerland and Germany. Through the sharing of information from all of our research it is desired that all can learn about our Shively families.

Woman Is Called To Life Eternal
Mrs. Susan I. Shiveley Has Been Summoned
Aged Resident Of Nemaha Passed Away After Short Illness And Leaves Family And Friends To Mourn Her Going — Had Lived Here Many Years
Mrs. Susan I. Shiveley of Nemaha passed away at her home at 1:35 o’clock Sunday afternoon after a brief illness of six days. Some five years ago Mrs. Shiveley had a severe illness and although she partially recovered her health was so impaired that she was unable to withstand the attack of pneumonia which developed following a severe cold.
Mrs. Shiveley had been a resident of Nemaha for 28 years and of the state for 43 years, having lived on a farm three and one-half miles southeast of Nemaha previous to moving to town. She had done much for the betterment of the community in which she lived and will be sadly missed by all.
Susan I. Hall was born in Adams county, Ohio November 18, 1851 and departed this life December 29, 1929 at her home in Nemaha at the age of 78 years, 1 month and 11 days.
She was one of ten children. In 1870 she was married to W. H. Robinson. Two children were born to this union, M. R. Robinson of Lone Jack, Mo., and one daughter, Mae, who died in infancy. After the death of her husband she was married to George W. Shiveley on January 4, 1875 and six children were born to them.
In 1886 she moved with her husband and family from Ohio to Atchison county, Mo. In 1890 they moved to a farm in Aspinwall precinct in this county where they resided until 1901, when they moved to Nemaha, where she lived until her death. Her husband died in 1902.
Mrs. Shiveley is survived by her six children, M. R. Robinson of Lone Jack, Mo, G. W. Shiveley of Portland, Ore., J. A. Shiveley of Nemaha, C. P. Shiveley of Dell Rapids, S.D., Mrs. Ellen R. Sanders of Brookings, S.D., Mrs. Ora O. DeLong of Afton, Iowa, and two stepsons, J. W. Shiveley of Odessa, Mo, and J. L. Shively of Auburn and by 19 grandchildren and 6 great grandchildren. Other members of her family who survive are her sister, Mrs. Mary Robinson and brother, George Hall of Greenfield, Ohio. She united with the Christian church when a girl and remained faithful to her belief all the years of her life and always willing to do her part in her quiet, unassuming manner. Although her children were more than anxious to have her with them she wanted to be in her own home and during her last illness she remarked that she was so glad that she was in her own home. Her great joy was in doing for others. Among the noblest deeds of her life was the adoption of Roy Brown, and orphan child for whom she tenderly cared until he died at the age of 17 years. She was a wonderful mother to her children and grandchildren and a neighbor to everyone. The sympathy of the community goes out to the bereaved family, who miss her greatly.
The funeral was held from the Christian church in Nemaha Monday afternoon and was largely attended by old friends and neighbors.

Constable Lewis Loses His Office
One of those unfortunate affairs that are always deplored by any community, says the Glasgow Globe, occurred in our city Monday night at about seven o’clock, when James B. Lewis, deputy constable of Chariton township, shot at Sig Shively, city night officer, with a revolver, the bullet penetrating his overcoat, coat and vest, and lodging against the band of his trousers.
It seems, from all we can learn, that Mr. Lewis and W. A. Howard had had some words in regard to the former serving of an execution in favor of E. E. Rall, and that Howard left Lewis and started down the street, Lewis following. Mr. Shively fearing further trouble, intervened, and told Mr. Lewis not to create any further disturbance. After some words Mr. Lewis walked to Price’s corner and returned, meeting Mr. Shively at Stegner’s harness shop. Here words were renewed and Mr. Shively attempted to arrest Mr. Lewis. A scuffle ensued and Shively threw Lewis down in Stegner’s doorway. As they fell Mr. Lewis discharged his pistol; the ball, after passing through overcoat, coat and vest, falling to the ground. Mr. Shively felt the sting of the bullet. Later, Mr. Lewis was placed under arrest by Mayor Southworth, and in company with J. B. Morgan, was escorted to the calaboose, but was at once released on his own recognizance. Tuesday morning, Constable William Crigler officially deprived Mr. Lewis of his deputyship.

Gypsies In Town
A band of gypsies traveling in two trucks and three cars, came into town Saturday and attracted a crowd of spectators. They stopped in front of the Z. & S. Garage and scattered about the different stores and finally a couple of boys went into the garage and loafed about for a while. After they left Ed Lyons missed a watch valued at $50. He hunted up Sig Shively, deputy marshal, and told him his troubles. Shively interviewed some of the band, but soon found that would get him nowhere, so he took the two boys who had been in the garage and locked them up. This provoked a near riot, as some of the some grew very abusive. While the wrangling was going on some one of the bunch slipped into the garage and put the watch back where is was later found. The boys were released and the gang given orders to leave town at once, which they did promptly. They were a dirty, thieving lot, and should be kept on the move.
