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,

                                                                            HENRY SHIVELY.

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.

Death Visits Nelson

And Calls A Beloved Christian Lady To Her Home Above

Obsebuies Of Mrs. J. W. Shively

Obituary

Sarah Elizabeth Adamson was born in Lee, Iowa, on October 30, 1847. She united with the Christian church at Belliar, Iowa, Nov. 23, 1863, was married at Centerville, Iowa, Dec. 13, 1882 to J. W. Shively of Eldorado, Kan., and died in Nelson, Nebraska, January 14, 1906, age 58 years, 2 months and 14 days. She left her immediate family her husband and two children, Esther and Carl. Her first born, Clark, died in infancy. Besides these remains her father in his 89th year and four brothers living in Nuckolls county, Nebraska. Her mother preceded her to that home not made with hands eleven years ago. Six of her brothers, John, Mose, Noah, Will, Willis and James were present at the funeral which took place at the Christian church Tuesday, Jan. 16th at 2 p.m.

A large and sympathetic audience was present which was evidence of the high esteem in which this good woman was held. "She hath done what she could" may truly be said of her. Prof. Shively and his children have the sympathy of the entire community. The real value of such a woman is not known till she is gone. After a very appropriate sermon preached by H. S. Gilliam, an old friend of the family, the remains were laid away in the Nelson cemetery. May the Father's blessing attend the family, is the prayer of all the friends and acquaintances in the town and community.

Extracted from the Greeley Graphic, Greeley, Kansas, Friday, February 22, 1895, Page 1, Column 5 is the following:

Editor of Lane Graphic:

In fulfillment of a promise made to many friends of the late Henry Shively, I furnish you this tribute of respect to his memory:

Henry Shively was born in Kentucky nearly seventy-five years ago. In early life, with his father's family he came to western Missouri, where he was residing when the border ruffian war was fought. With that class of men he was a marked man, and the wonder is that during those days he was not murdered. He was saved from bullets of those trained murders and mauraders, and in the spring of 1857 he bade good-bye to Missouri and took up his line of march for Kansas. He chose for his future home, the spot on the south bank of the Marais des Cygne, where he so recently laid down the burdens of life.

When Sumpter was assaulted he was ready for the defense of the nation, and at that early day in the long and bloody struggle, he advocated the unconditional emancipation of slaves - the direct cause of the war. Early in 1861 a desultory warfare was precipitated upon the Missouri and Kansas state line. The dormant border ruffian spirit was rejuvinated. Shively responded to the call for men to protect the homes of Kansans living near to and along the line and of the progress of that warfare he kept constant watch until the 25 of August, 1862, when he formally enlisted for three years or during the war.

The company which he joined was lettered "D" and was assigned to the 12th Kansas Infantry. He was chosen first lieutenant and was with the company and regiment mustered into the services by Major T. J. Weed, at Paola, Kansas, September 25, 1862. Shortly after muster in of the regiment, General McKean, then in command of the District of the Border, ordered Col. Adams to detail a suitable officer, who should make choice of 40 men of the regiment to act as mounted infantry, to scout along and protect the eastern border of the state from incursions of the baser element of Missourians. Col. Adams detailed Lieut. Shively for that duty, and right royally did he do the duty assigned him.

The writer went with him often on many scouts necessary and at no time did he ever see him in the least excited or disconcerted. No matter how critical the situation he preserved the same calm, unruffled front. All orders were given with a deliberation and calmness characteristic of the man as our citizens have known him since the war. During the exhausting campaigns of 1863 and 1864 his health was shattered, and in the fall of 1864, he resigned his commission and returned to his old home on the Marias des Cygnes, from whence he was so recently carried and laid to rest to await the great reivelle. In can be said of him as truthfully as was ever said of any man: "He was a brave man".

A good citizen, a brave soldier, a kind neighbor, a Christian gentleman, a godlike nobleman has gone to rest. Oh, that all men would emulate his example and thereby make the world better...-Lane Graphic                                      Wm. H. Ambrose

James Floyd Shively And Anna Elizabeth Fowler Who Lived In Marion County, Kentucky

James Floyd Shively was born Nov-1862 in Phillipsburg, Marion County, KY and died 3-Nov-1936 in Phillipsburg, Marion County, KY. He is buried in the St. Francis de Saales Cemetery in Spurlington, Taylor County, KY. James Floyd Shively was the son of Thomas Robert Shively (born 6-Jun-1833 died 15-Sep-1910 buried St. Francis de Saales Cemetery) and Julia Ann Jarboe (1838-1922).  Thomas Robert Shively was the son of Henry H. Shively and Elizabeth Heaverin.  Henry H. Shively was the son of John Shively and Susannah Hayden.  

James Floyd Shively married Anna Eliza Fowler  on 22-Nov-1887 at St. Francis Catholic Church. This Marriage Bond is recorded in Marion County, KY Marriage Volume 9, Pages 616-617.  According to this information James was 25 years old and Anniliza was 15 years old.  The bond was signed by Jas. F. Shively and Peter Edelen.  

Anna Eliza Fowler was born on 3-Feb-1872 or 1873 and died 16-Jul-1901 in Marion County, KY. She was the daughter of Charles Robert Fowler (1842-1878) and Mary Elizabeth Edelen (1852-unknown).  Anna Eliza is located on the 1880 New Market District, Marion County, KY census in the household of Peter C. Edelen age 40, wife Esther age 28, son Peter C. Jr age 1 and great-niece Annie E. Fowler age 7. 

James Floyd Shively and Anna Eliza Fowler were the parents of the following children: 1) Julia Ann Shively born 25-Jul-1894 in Marion County, KY died 18-Oct-1932 buried in Our Lady of the Hills Cemetery, Taylor County, KY.  She married Elmer Green Hay who was born 3-Sep-1885 died 4-Jan-1961 buried Old Liberty Cemetery, Marion County, KY. Elmer was the son of James and Lizzie Hay.  On the death certificate for Julia Ann Shively Hay she lists her parents as Floyd Shively and Anna Jarboe.  Julia would have been about 7 years old when her mother Anna Fowler died in 1901 and her father Floyd Shively would have still been alive in 1932 so am not sure why her mother is listed as Anna Jarboe. (Note that later Anna Jarboe will be discussed in connection with Julia’s sister who was Anna Elizabeth Shively born in May-1901 which was 2 months before the death of their mother, Anna Fowler Shively).   Elmer Green Hay married after the death of Julia Ann Shively to Rhoda Pearl Milby Bell. From the Central Kentucky News Jornal, January 12, 1961 is the following obituary:  Funeral services were conducted Friday at Bradsfordville Baptist Church for Elmer Green Hay, who died Wednesday, January 4, 1961, at St. Joseph Infirmary, Louisville.
