Luther C. Shively From Henry County, IN To Riverside County, CA

Sometime between 1910 and 1920 Luther C. Shively moved from Henry County, Indiana to Hemet, Riverside County, California.  Located in The Riverside Daily Press, Riverside, California, Monday Evening, July 25, 1932, Page 8, Column 6:

Has 75 Tons 'Cots He Will Give Needy

(Special Correspondence)  HEMET, July 24 -- L. C. Shively, Hemet apricot grower, has about 75 tons of 'cots at his ranch at the southwest corner of State street and Johnston avenue which he will give away to needy people of the valley.  Those wishing the apricots should bring their boxes or other containers to the ranch and pick what fruit they want, hauling them away themselves.

Mr. Shively had been drying his big crop, but decided that he was losing money on the deal and has since been giving his fruit to all worthy people who will pick them and haul them away.

Luther Shively is living with his parents in Henry County, Indiana in 1880.  Listed on the census in Prairie Township are John age 53 stock dealer, Mary age 51 keeping house, daughter Lina age 25, son Philip age 23, son William J age 22, son Frank age 20, son Charles age 18, daughter Millie age 16, son Luther age 14 and son Salem age 12.  

Approximately 1897 Luther Shively married Lillian Byrikit.  Luther and Lillian are listed on the 1900 and 1910 Henry  County, Indiana census records.  Lillian's mother, Charlotte Byrkit, is living in their household in 1910.

By 1920 Luther and Lillian Shively had moved to Hemet in Riverside County, California.  Lillian Shively passed away in 1928.  From the Riverside Daily Press, Riverside, California, Friday Evening, September 28, 1928, Page 13, Column 5:

Luther C. Shively 63, Hemet and Emma Aden 53, Champaign, Illinois

The marriage for Luther Shively and Emma Aden was the second for each.  From the Riverside Daily Press, Saturday Evening, November 29, 1913, Page 1, Column 6:

Worry Over Husband Drives Woman Insane

Sad Case Comes to the Attention of the Court This Morning --Mrs. Aden of Hemet the Victim--Committed to Patton

Worry over the serious illness of her husband and completely exhausted in caring for him during his present illness, was too much for Mrs. Emma Aden, of Hemet, and this morning she was committed to Patton in a serious condition.

Mrs. Aden is a young woman of 35 years, while her husband is 65.  For some time past he has been suffering from gangrene, and the announcement that his case would prove fatal was too much for the patient and loving companion, and she broke down, becoming violent.

She was removed to the county hospital, where it was believed good care and kind treatment would improve her mental condition.  Yesterday, however, it was decided that Patton would be the better place for her, and this morning Doctors Martin and Van Zwalenburg conducted an examination and on their testimony the court committed her to Patton.  It is believed in time she will recover her mind.  The husband, it is said, has but a few days to live so serious in his condition.

The death of Emma Aden's husband, Mimke Aden, is recorded in the Riverside Enterprise, Wednesday, December 17, 1913, Page 2, Columns 4-5:

Death Of Resident

Mimke Aden, for the past three years a resident of Hemet, died at his home on Carmalita street Friday afternoon about 5 o'clock.  The cause of his death was arteriosclerosis with gangrene as a contributing cause.  He had been ill for more than a month and his life had been despaired of for some time.

The deceased retired three years ago from active life and came to Hemet to live.  Last summer he was compelled to undergo and operation on one limb from which he never entirely recovered.  He is survived by a wife and ten children.

The funeral was held Monday afternoon in the First Methodist church and Rev. Harkness conducted the services.  After the funeral services the body was removed to the undertaking parlors of Owen & Turner, where it remained until Tuesday morning, when it was taken to Garrison, Neb., the former home of the deceased.

From the California death records it is listed that Luther C. Shively was born 25-September-1865 and died 4-September-1948.

Moses Shively And Wife Elizabeth Wentle Of Oliver Township, Mifflin County, Pennsylvania

Family Bible Of Elizabeth Wentle

This blog was created for the sharing of our Shively research.  It was also created for those who have questions and are looking for information on a Shively line to be able to see if others are working on the same lineage.

James Shively from Kansas City, Missouri is working on his Moses Shively and Elizabeth Wentle line.  If there are other researchers who are working on this Shively line he would like to make contact with you in order to work together.

Moses Shively is listed on the Pennsylvania census records from 1850 to 1900.  Moses is listed  in the Union County, Pennsylvania probate records (Book C, Page 43) in the records of John Shively of Hartle Township, Union County as "grandson Moses, son of my daughter Elizabeth".  In the Descendants of Christian Shively of Warwick Township, Lancaster County...,by Arthur Geiger Black, Moses Shively is mentioned as "Moses Shively, Oliver Township, Mifflin Co., Pa, eldest son of Elizabeth Shively, (now Elizabeth Valentine) and grandson of John Shively, late of Hartley Township, Union County, PA".

One of the mysteries that James Shively is trying to resolve is trying to find a record that lists the father of Moses Shively.  From the sources mentioned in the above paragraph his mother is named but no reference can be found naming his father.   James Shively has participated in the Shively family DNA project and the results did not match the Christian Shively participants. Therefore the concern that Elizabeth Shively may have born Moses out of wedlock and Moses given the surname Shively at birth.

Moses Shively married Elizabeth Wentle.  They had 5 children:  Thomas Charles Shively born 19-Nov-1854 and married on 24-Jan-1882 to Anna Houston, Scott Shively born 30-July-1856, Mary (Nannie) Shively born 14-Sep-1859 died 8-May-1882, Rachel Eliza Shively born 3-Aug-1866, and Nana born 6-May-1870.  

Mary Shively is listed with her father, Moses Shively on the 1900 census. They are located in Oliver Township, McVeytown Borough, Mifflin County, PA.  From the research of James Shively he records: "Mary Shively was born Sept. 14, 1859 in Oliver Township, Mifflin, Pennsylvania and was the third child and oldest daughter of Moses Shively and Elisabeth (Wentle) Shively.  Her siblings were Charles Shively (my great x4 grandfather), Scott Shively, Rachal Eliza, and Nancy Shively, and one other unknown child. She is first documented in 1860 in Oliver Township, Pennsylvania with her parents and two brothers and her age is given as 1.  Some time around 1867 Mary was placed in an Almshouse or Alms house.  She is listed on the supplemental schedule Numbers, 1 to 7, for the Defective, Dependent, and Delinquent Classes on July 19th, 1880 as spending two years in an Alms House where it is said she suffered from dementia where it said that her present attack lasted 2 days and has had a total of nine.  The form says that she was an epileptic.  She was only 8 years old when she was boarded there.   Mary is listed as spending two years in the Alms House and was released in 1869.  In 1870 she is listed living with her father, Moses, in Oliver Township and in 1880 she is is the same township living with her father, Moses, and mother, Elisabeth.  What happened between 1880 and 1900 is a mystery beyond being listed on the rolls of two churches; the Mcveytown Presbyterian Church in 1884 with her father Moses and in the Presbytery Church of Huntingdon in 1895.  In 1900 Mary is listed with her father, Moses, in Oliver Township, Mifflin County, PA where Moses is listed as having been born in 1803 and Mary is listed as having been born in 1869 (both of ages listed on this census record are wrong).  Moses must have passed away between 1900 and 1910 because Mary is next listed as single and a "boarder" in the home of Elmer E. Stine and his wife Ella and daughter and in 1920 she is still in the same household listed as "hired".  The last census record for Mary is on the 1930 census of Derry Township in an Alms House.  She is listed as being 70 and single and living in a home with 37 other "inmates".  The Alms House was a place for the poor and insane."

James Shively would appreciate any additional information on this Shively lineage.  You can find some of his research  at   http://www.shivelyfamily.com/mysterys.html       If anyone has the cemetery records for Mifflin County, PA and can locate the records for Moses Shively or daughter Mary this information could help.  Once a date of death can be established for Moses Shively a search for a newspaper obit can be done.    If you comment to this blog James Shively will be able to read your replies.
