Pretty Morning Wedding

Dr. James E. Shively, Of Shippensburg, And Miss Nellie G. Caldwell, of Pittsburg, Wedded In Carlisle

The home of Rev. and Mrs. J. B. Polsgrove, 122 North Hanover street, was this morning the scene of a very pretty home wedding, when their friend, Miss Nellie G. Caldwell, of The Children's Home Society, of Pittsburg, became the bride of Dr. James B. Shively, of Shippensburg, Pa., at 7:30. The rooms was beautifully and tastily decorated with palms, ferns, and smilax. The bridge stood in veritable fairy bower. The ring ceremony of the Methodist Episcopal Church was used, the Rev. J. B. Polsgrove, officiating. Miss Rhoda E. Reeser, of Carlisle, played the wedding march from "Lehengrin", and during the ceremony DeKeven's "Oh, Promise Me" was rendered softly and impressively; "Hearts And Flowers" was the effective finale.

The bride wore a Princess of white batiste, elaborately trimmed with lace over white taffeta, with a white picture hat, and carried a trailing bouquet of bridal roses and maidenhair ferns. The groom wore the conventional frock coat.

After the ceremony an elaborate wedding breakfast was served at the New Wellington, the parlor being especially decorated for the occasion. Mr. L. Harold Harris, of Carlisle, gave the toast to the bride. The nuptials being very private, only the immediate friends attended. Those present were Miss Helen E. Shively, of Shippensburg; Mrs. Dr Dugal, of Milton; Miss Anna Scott, of Orbisonia; Miss Emma Smith, of Harrisburg; Mrs. Dr. Welsh, of Waynesboro; Rev. Dr. and Mrs. Polsgrove, Mrs. M. A.

Death Came Quickly

Peter Shively, of Frankford Township, Dies Quite Suddenly

The citizens of Frankford township were greatly shocked last evening to learn that Mr. Peter Shively, on of their most highly respected citizens, had died quite suddenly at 5 o'clock.

Mr. Shively resides near the Stone Church and has been in declining health.

The suddenness of the sad and entirely unexpected demise occasioned a great shock to the family and cast a gloom over the entire community. Mr. Shively was aged about 68 years and had engaged at farming until recent years when his failing health compelled him to relinquish many of the arduous duties of farm life.  He was a man who was held in high esteem by a large circle of acquaintances because of his thrift and integrity.  When the civil war began he risked his life in defense of national honor and served with distinguished gallantry in Co. F, 209th Penna. Vols.  He was identified with Capt. Colwell Post, 201, GAR, of this place. The deceased was a member of the Church of the Friendly Brethren.

As a husband and father he displayed much loving devotion and his place in the family circle will be sadly missed.

He is survived by his wife and one daughter, Mrs. Joseph F. Bixler, of Washington, D.C., who was visiting her parents at the time. A brother, David, resides in Perry county.

Searching For Brother Lost For Five Years

William D. Shively of Longsdorf whose brother has been lost for five years, yesterday addressed an appeal to THE PATRIOT asking that he be given aid in his search.  His brother is Harvey H. Shively.  He was last heard from in Harrisburg about five years ago.  He was working here then as a carpenter.

In a related article from The Patriot, Harrisburg, PA, Thursday, January 13, 1921, Page 11, Column 2:

Seek Lost Brother

A "lost" brother, Harvey H. Shively, has been sought for over a year without success by relatives.  His brother, William D. Shively, who died on January 4 and was buried last Friday had long searched him.  William Shively lived in Dickinson and was ill only two hours before he died.  Other survivors are his wife and a son, Lester; and two sisters, Mrs. J. M. Landis,  of Brooklyn, and Mrs. A. L. Weaver, of Newville.

In Steelton, Dauphin County, PA in December 1915 Nicolo Kotur and Joso Bakic got into an argument.  Joso Bakic was found dead outside of the boarding house where they lived.   There are numerous articles in The Patriot relating to this murder.   In The Patriot, Harrisburg, PA, Tuesday, February 15, 1916, Page 1, Column 4  an article appeared that lists Harvey Shively as being present at the trial.  Not only was he present but as the article states he was pulled from being a spectator to being a member of the jury.  The article records:

At this point court adjourned.

Two spectators who entered the court room early yesterday afternoon did not get home last night.  They are Harvey H. Shively and William Metzgar, who were locked up with the rest of the jurors as the “guests” of Sheriff Caldwell.  They were picked from the audience after the regular panel had been exhausted. The other ten on the Kotur jury are:  John M. Madden, Millersburg, foreman; Joseph G. Beckwith, Seventh ward, city; George E. Eldridge, Ninth ward, city; Charles K. Hess, First ward, city; Henry W. Snyder, Ninth ward, city; Joseph Lutz, Thirteenth ward, city; Walter Liebfield, Derry township; Alpha Fraut, Steelton; John Dubbs, Hershey; and A. B. Gardner, city.

From the following article it is recorded that Harvey Shively and  fellow jurors found Nicholo Kotur guilty of first degree murder:

The Patriot, Harrisburg, PA, Thursday, February 17, 1916, Page 1, Column 3:

Guilty Of Murder In First Degree

Kotur, Angered At Verdict Of Jury, Becomes Sarcastic In Remarks

Nicholo Kotur will be the first person from Dauphin county to die in the electric chair, unless means can be found by his lawyers to stay the penalty for murder in the first degree, the verdict returned by a jury late yesterday afternoon after little more than an hour’s deliberation.  He was convicted of killing Joso Bakic, a fellow-countryman, in a Steelton boarding house last December 22.

As the jurors, one by one, solemnly pronounced the word “guilty” the first trace of emotion he has shown since his arrest stirred in Kotur.  The three days’ trial was utterly devoid of anything dramatic on his part, and the impression grew that he was ignorant of English.  But at its conclusion the doomed man sprang to his feet.

Hot With Anger

“Thank you, Mr. Jurors,” he cried in accents that rang clearly over a tense courtroom.

His voice vibrated and his face colored with hot passion.  Hs head dipped quickly in the mockery of a bow.

Under the scorn and hatred blazing in his narrow eyes a few jurors turned red.  Then he strode toward (continued on Page 12, Column 6)  the door was was led back to his cell across the alley, composed once more.  On his way he remarked simply to Deputy Sheriff Hoffman: “Good-bye, everybody.  I go chair all right, all for notting.”

Nicholo Kotur was given a second trial and in December 16, 1916 he was found guilty once more.  From The Patriot, Harrisburg, PA, Tuesday,  October 2, 1917, Page 5, Column 3:

Kotur Paye Death Penalty In Chair

Nicolo Kotur, convicted of the murder of Joso Bakic at Steelton on Christmas 1915, yesterday paid the penalty in the electric chair at the Center County Penitentiary.  He was electrocuted at 7:10 a.m.

Could it be that Harvey Shively being involved in this trial had something to do with the fact that he seems to have "been lost" to his family?  Harvey and wife Ella are listed on the 1910 Dauphin County, PA, city of Harrisburg census. Harvey or Ella could not be located on the 1920 census records. It appears that Harvey H. Shively may have relocated to Jefferson County, OH.  Located on the 1930 Jefferson County, Ohio, Village of Toronto, Island Creek Township, 405 Main Street is an entry for Harvey H Shively, age 50, widowed, occupation Carpenter, Furniture and in the household is John Armour, a roomer, age 61, single, occupation as a Laborer for a steel mill.  There is an Ohio death certificate for a Harvey Shively, age 66, who died in Jefferson County, Ohio on 1-July-1937.  He is listed as living in the "Jefferson County Home".  The informant for the information on the death certificate was L. W. Adrian, Superintendent of the Jefferson County Home.  Harvey's birth information and parents were listed as unknown.

Shively-Caldwell

The home of Rev. and Mrs. J. B. Paulsgrove, 122 North Hanover street, was the scene of a very pretty wedding on Wednesday morning when their friend, Miss Nellie G. Caldwell, of the Children's Home Society of Pittsburg, was married to Dr. James Bruce Shively, of Shippensburg.  The wedding took place at 7:30 o'clock.

Dr. and Mrs. Shively left on the 10.44 train on a wedding trip of six weeks to the Thousand Islands and parts of Canada.  Upon their return they will reside in Shippensburg, where the bridegroom is a prominent physician.

From Chester County, Pennsylvania there was an unidentified obituary for James B. Shively:

Dr. James B. Shively

After months of lingering illness, Dr. James B. Shively passed away early this morning at his home at the corner of Church and Chestnut streets.  Dr. Shively came to West Chester in the spring of 1911, from Shippensburg where for years he had been a successful physician, making a speciality of diseases of the eye.  Although omparatively a newcomer here he made many friends, being cordial and kindly disposition, always ready to render a service whenever possible and doing many kindly acts unknown to any but the persons who benefited by them.  Dr. Shively was about two years ago elected a deacon in the first Presbyterian Church and as long as health permitted was earnest in the discharge of the duties attached to that office.

He is survived by a widow, formerly, Mrs. Kline, of Abington, near Philadelphia, to whom he was married a year ago today.

He also leaves a daughter, Mrs. Geo. C. Gayman of Doylestown.
