The following articles are in regards to the accident and death of Solomon Shively:

Probably Fatal Accident

Solomon Shively, a well known farmer, living two miles north west of town, met with a terrible accident Monday evening, which will in all probability result fatally, if he is not already dead by this time. Mr. Shively and his hired man, a young man by name of Boyer, were hauling in hay and a pulley on the hay carrier in his barn broke while unloading a load. Mr. Shively climbed up on a ladder to the carrier in the comb of the barn to fix the carrier. While he was in the act of doing so a bunch of hay, which was fastened on the hay fork, was tripped off and set the carriage in motion, throwing Mr. Shively from the top of the ladder. He was carried or thrown across the hay mow any the rope of the hay carrier and fell a distance of over thirty feet striking upon his head and shoulders on the barn floor. The hired man being unable to restore him to consciousness summoned the neighbors as Mr. Shiveley’s family was away from home at the time and Dr. Lower was sent for. An examination showed that one leg was broken and his skull badly fractured at the base, besides other bad bruises and probably internal injuries about the body. The doctor pronounced his case very critical and with little hopes of recovery. At last report yesterday morning he was still alive but had not regained consciousness and there was very little if any hopes of his recovery. Mr. Shively is about forty-five years of age and has a family of several children.

Solomon Shively Dead

Mention was made in our last issue of the frightful fall of Solomon Shively from his hay mow on Monday evening and the dangerous condition of his injuries. He died about ten o’clock Thursday night having never regained consciousness. From the first the doctors pronounced his injuries fatal but as he continued to live his family wanted everything done that might save his life. Dr. McCaskey, of Fort Wayne, was sent for and with Dr. Lancaster, of this city, performed an operation by which a portion of the injured man’s skull was cut out and some clotted blood removed from his brain. The operation, we are told, had no perceptible effect on the patient and he still continued in a comatose condition, death resulting as above stated.

The decease was a man age 43 years, 8 months and 14 days at the time of his death, having resided in this community all his life. He leaves a wife and four children, besides a number of brothers and other relatives to mourn his death. Funeral took place Saturday forenoon at then o’clock at the old Dunkard church a mile west of town, Elders Balsley and Jacob Mishler officiating. The services were very largely attended, the church being crowded to over flowing. Burial took place at the Swank cemetery north of town.

E. F. Shively, Prominent Banker Here Quarter Of Century, Dies

A man who made banking history in Middletown before his retirement less than two years ago, E. F. Shively, 72, died at 5:45 a.m. today after an illness of six months.

Mr. Shively, who still was a director of the First American Bank, which he served as vice president and director for almost a quarter of a century, was active in many civic endeavors until ill health forced him further to retire into private life.

Mr. Shively was a recognized authority on banking when he came to Middletown in January of 1925 to become a director of the then First and Merchants National Bank, predecessor of the First National Bank. He had been a national bank examiner for a number of years, and his vast knowledge of the banking business was recognized throughout the state.

Born and educated in Dayton, Mr. Shively was a graduate of Trotwood High School and received his financial background in studies at Miami-Jacobs Business College in Dayton.

Calvin W. Verity, president of the First National Bank, said this morning upon learning of Mr. Shively's death, "he served for a quarter of a century as a top official in our bank, and he will be greatly missed by our officers, board of directors and employes."

"Mr. Shively in his very quiet way gave consideration to the problems that were brought before him, and he was able to be helpful over the years to a great many people."

"While Mr. Shively had been retired for almost two years, until recently he had been an active member of the board, and because of his experience, his advice and counsel will be greatly missed."

While his duties as executive vice president of the bank were time-consuming and demanding, he still found time to lend his talents to civic activities and to his Presbyterian faith.

He was a life member of the board of governors of the Civic Association and of its executive committee, served the YMCA as a director, and found a place in his busy life to share his knowledge with the various committees of the Ohio Bankers Association and the Butler County Bankers Association.

During World War II, he was chairman of the Middletown War Loan Committee and directed six war loan campaigns under the supervision of the U. S. Treasury Department, raising funds in the Middletown area to assist in financing the war. In each drive under Mr. Shively, the quotas were exceeded by wide margins.

A member of the First Presbyterian Church, he served it for many years both as a deacon and as an elder.

Mr. Shively retired from the First National Bank as executive vice president in January of 1949, but still remained an adviser as a director of the bank. At that time he moved his residence from Route 25, now occupied by Dr. and Mrs. E. O. Bauer, and with Mrs. Shively moved to the Bauer's apartment at 64 South Main St.

Surviving him are the widow, Mrs. Margaret Shively; one son, Edward H. Shively of Middletown; one daughter, Mrs. Norman Hagedorn, and two grandchildren, Charles and James Hagedorn. 

Funeral services will be held at 10 a.m. Monday at the Wilson Funeral Home. The Rev. Russell Galloway of the First Presbyterian Church will officiate. Burial will be in Woodside Cemetery.

Friends may call at the Wilson Funeral Home on Sunday from 2 to 5 p.m. and from 7 to 9 p.m.

Mrs. Shively moved from Middletown to Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., about two months ago. She died Thursday in a rest home in Florida after an extended illness.

Young Architect Claimed By Death

John Schaeufele, 21, Passes Away After Long Illness

John Schaeufele, 21 years old, a popular and well-known young man of the East End, died Saturday evening at 3 o'clock at the late residence, 50 Samuel street, following an illness of about two years of consumption. He was an architect, having attended school at Cincinnati to perfect his ability in that line, but owing to the fact that he was compelled to leave his work at school on account of illness and come home, he had never made this work his business. He was highly esteemed by those who knew him and his death is mourned in a large circle of friends. He leaves his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Christian Schaeufele and one brother, Alvin Schaeufele. The funeral services will be held Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the residence on Samuel street in charge of Rev. Dr. Zarwell and the burial will be made in Woodland cemetery.

Ida Rosa Schäufele

Vereinsamt und verödet wurde das Heim von Herrn Christian Schäufele und Frau an Samuel Straße durch den am 7. Mai erfolgten Tod ihrer geliebten und einzigen Tochter Ida, im Alter von 17 Jahren, 2 Monaten und 23 Tagen.  Sie, welche ein Bild von Lebensfrische und Gesundheit war, erkrankte vor einem Jahr an Lungenkrankheit.  Alles, was nur für ihre Rettung gethan werden konnte, wurde gethan; jedoch vergebens.  Am besagten Tage erlöste sie der Tod von ihrem schmerzlichen und qualvollen Leiden,  welches sie mit staunenswerther Geduld ertrag. 
Sie wurde in Dayton geboren und erzogen. 
An ihrem Sarge trauerten ihre tiefbetrübten Eltern und zwei Brüder John und Alvin, sowie ein großer Kreis von Freunden; denn ihr freundliches und liebenswürdiges Wesen machte sie bei Allen beliebt, die sie kannten.

Translation to English.

Ida Rosa Schaeufele

The office of Mr. Christian Schäufle and wife at Samuel street was deserted by the death of his  beloved and only daughter Ida at the age of 17, 2 months and 23 days. She, who was a picture of freshness and health, fell ill a year ago with lung disease. All that could be done for their salvation was done; But in vain. On that day, she was saved from her painful and painful sufferings, which she bore with patience.
She was born and raised in Dayton. 
On their coffins the grieved parents and two brothers, John and Alvin, mourned as well as a great circle of friends; For her kind and amiable nature made her popular with all who knew her.

Samuel S. Shively And Wife Lydia Ullery Who Lived In Miami County, Indiana

Samuel S. Shively/Lydia Ullery Marriage

Samuel S. Shively was born 31-Mar-1818 and died 12-Jan-1881 and buried in Sharpee Cemetery in Miami County, IN.  Samuel was married on 30-Apr-1840 in Montgomery County, OH to Lydia Ullery.  Lydia was born 14-Jan-1824 and died 1-Jan-1873.   Samuel S. Shively was the son of Christian Shively (1770-1836) and Susannah Gripe (1776-1859).

Samuel S. Shively is listed on the 1860 Miami County, IN, Pipe Creek Township census:  Samuel S. Shively age 42 farmer, wife Lydia age 36, son Samuel age 18, son Solomon age 14, son Christian age 6, and daughter Mary E age 2.  On the 1870 Miami County, IN, Pipe Creek Township census is listed Samuel Shively age 52, wife Lydia age 46, son Christopher age 14, daughter Mary age 13 and daughter Anna.  On the 1880 Miami County, IN, Pipe Creek Township census in the household of George Bowman age 30 is the boarder Samuel Shively age 62 and his son Christopher Shively age 23.

The tragic death of Samuel S. Shively was recorded in at least three different newspapers. The tragedy of Samuel’s death is not the reason for this article rather the different telling of the tragedy in each newspaper. 

Extracted from the Logansport Weekly Journal, Logansport, IN, Saturday, January 22, 1881, Page 8, Column 3:

Wednesday evening Samuel Shively and another man, both farmers, started home in a wood wagon, after first absorbing a good supply of whisky.  They had only driven about one mile and a half from Peru when Shively fell out of the wagon; his head was caught behind the spokes of the hind wheel, breaking his neck instantly.

Recorded in the Rochester Republican, Rochester, IN, Thursday, January 20, 1881, Page 2, Column 2:

Samuel Shively, a farmer living near Peru, fell of his wagon while drunk, and met his death.  His head caught between the spokes of one of the wheels, breaking his neck instantly.

Shocking Accident

Yesterday evening about 6 o’clock, Samuel S. Shively, an old and well known resident of Pipe Creek township, was going home with William Bowman, and when they were near the railroad bridge one wheel of the wagon dropped into a deep rut and Mr. Shively, who was sitting on the seat directly above the wheel, was pitched out, his head catching in the spokes and breaking his neck, causing instantaneous death.  Help was procured at Wallick’s mill and the body brought to Peru and taken to the residence of his son-in-law, Mr. Jackson, to be prepared for the rites of interment.  Immediately after the accident deputy coroner Scott was notified, who decided it would only be a useless expense to the county to hold an inquest.  Mr. Shively was near seventy years of age, was the owner of considerable property, and was respected by all who knew him.  He leaves quite a large family, all of whom are grown and in comfortable circumstances.

David R. Shively From Montgomery County, Ohio To Miami County, Indiana

There are times when I discover a new Shively biography that is so full of genealogy information that no further explanation is needed.   Following is an example found this week:

Biographical and Genealogical History of Cass, Miami, Howard and Tipton Counties, Indiana, Vol. II, The Lewis Publishing Company, 1898, Pages 967-970.

DAVID R. SHIVELY, one of the most venerable citizens of Bunker Hill, Indiana, and a respected pioneer of Miami county and of Pipe Creek township, is of the sturdy Pennsylvania Dutch stock.  His first American ancestors were from Switzerland, being two brothers.  The name then spelled Shiveley.  They were among German Baptists who emigrated to the Keystone state between 1708 and 1729, on the establishment of the Pennsylvania government, to escape religious persecution.

John Shively, the grandfather of David R., was a native of Pennsylvania, in which state he married Miss Susanna Cripe, and their children were David, Christian, John, Jacob, Susanna and Elizabeth.  John Shively was a pioneer farmer in Huntingdon county, Pennsylvania, and was a resident there during the Indian troubles, when he was obliged to leave his home for three years and take shelter in a safe place.  In religion he was a German Baptist.  Later he emigrated to Montgomery county, Ohio, where it is believed he settled as early as 1806, entered land and cleared and cultivated a portion of it, making a good tillable  farm.  He was one of the earliest pioneers of that county and a highly respected citizen.  He was an elder in the German Baptist church.  He could have bought the land where the court-house in Dayton now stands for ten pounds of butter.  His son, David  Shively, the father of our subject, was born in Huntingdon county, Pennsylvania, in 1787, and was taken to Montgomery county, Ohio, by his parents when a boy.  They came down the Ohio on a flat-boat from Pittsburg, Pennsylvania. After he grew up he was married, in Montgomery county, to Hannah Cripe, also a native of the Keystone state and a daughter of Jacob Cripe. His children were Jacob, Daniel, Barbara, Hannah, Esther and Elizabeth.  Elder Cripe was a pioneer of Montgomery county, Ohio, where he cleared a tract of land and reduced it to cultivation and was a prosperous farmer.  David Shively settled on land which his father had entered six miles west of Dayton, between Liberty and Wolf creek, and about two and a half miles from the present Soldiers’ Home.  Here he cleared land a developed a farm of about one hundred and ten acres, to which he added by later purchase until he had one hundred and sixty acres, all of which was fine farm land.  He gave eighty acres to each of his children—Elizabeth, Samuel and David R.  He emigrated to Pipe Creek township, Miami county, Indiana, in 1853, buying eighty acres of land and clearing it, and here he died, about the age of eighty years, a sincere member of the German Baptist church.

David R. Shively, whose name heads this sketch, was born in Montgomery county, Ohio, December 13, 1820, received a limited common-school education and was married in his native county in October, 1843, to Annie Haines, who was born in 1826, in Pennsylvania, the daughter of Jesse and Elizabeth (Myers) Haines.  Her father was of sturdy Pennsylvania Dutch stock, and also German Baptist, a man of strict principles and consistent conduct.  By his first wife his children were:  Isaac, George and Samuel.  The mother of these children died and subsequently Mr. Haines was united in marriage with Elizabeth Myers, and the children by this union were:  Annie, Michael, Catharine, Samuel, Stephen, Rudy and Jesse.

After marriage Mr. Shively located first in Montgomery county, Ohio, on a tract of eighty acres of land which his father had given him and lived there four years, when he moved to Germantown Pike and was a resident there also for four years.  Here he had a fine farm of one hundred and twenty-eight acres a half mile from the Soldiers’ Home, which he ultimately sold in 1854, for five thousand five hundred dollars.  Moving to Pipe Creek township, Miami county, Indiana, he purchased two hundred and twenty acres of land, mostly in timber, and cleared it, bringing out a good farm.  For ten years he also owned and ran a gristmill on Big Pipe creek.  By his never failing industry and concentration of energies and active judgment, he at length had for himself a splendid home, was prosperous in all his business and an influential citizen.  By his first wife his children were John and Elizabeth.

Mrs. Shively died October 9, 1864, having always enjoyed a reputation for industry and the accomplishments of a good house-wife, and she was a devoted member of the German Baptist church.  By his second marriage, February 3, 1867, at Arcadia, Hamilton county, Indiana, Mr. Shively was united with Mrs. Fanny S. Murray, whose maiden name was Correll and who was born January 14, 1828, in Lancaster county, Pennsylvania, a daughter of John and Elizabeth (Stouffer) Correll.  Her father was of French and German ancestry and a son of David and Susan (Hess) Correll.  John Correll also was a native of Lancaster county, Pennsylvania, was a distiller by trade and a farmer.  His children were Christopher, Fannie, Elizabeth, John, Susanna, Annie, Catharine, Mary, Sarah, Barbara, Joseph, Jacob and Andrew.  Mr. John Correll moved to Indiana in 1838, locating in Wayne county, and after a residence there of five years removed to Hamilton county, also in this state, settling upon one hundred and forty acres of land, where he made a farm in the forest and established a good home for his children.  His days were ended in Hamilton county, where he died, December 4, 1885, at the venerable age of eighty-five years, having been born June 29, 1800.  He was a member of the Mennonite church and was much respected.  He brought up his children in good habits and was himself a very exemplary citizen.  Mrs. Shively was about ten years of age when she came in 1838 and joined her parents in Hamilton county, and at the age of seventeen was married to John Murray, who was born November 13, 1818, in Lancaster county, Pennsylvania, and was a farmer by occupation.  Their children were Elizabeth, Barbara, Mary, Christopher, Catharine, Annie, Daniel and John.  Mr. and Mrs. Murray located in Hamilton county, this state, where he finally died, at the age of forty-one years.  He was of Pennsylvania Dutch stock and an industrious, straightforward man.

After marriage Mr. and Mrs. Shively settled upon the Shively homestead in Pipe Creek township, and in 1876 removed to Bunker Hill, where they have a pleasant residence, with about twenty acres in a high state of cultivation.  On this plat they have planted all kinds of fine fruit trees that can be successfully cultivated in this latitude, besides many ornamental trees; this very comfortable home they richly deserve in return for their many long years of ardous labor.

They are members of the German Baptist church, and politically Mr. Shively votes with the Democratic party.  Concerning all the subjects of the foregoing sketch in general we can quote with hearty indorsement the language of Daniel Webster: “Real goodness does not attach itself merely to this life; it points to another world.  Political and professional reputation cannot last forever; but a conscience void of offence before God and man is an inheritance for eternity.”
