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.

James M. Hubbard

MINNEAPOLIS -- The funeral for James M. Hubbard will be at 10 am Friday at the Park-Holtz Funeral Home, the Rev. J. Ralph Watkins officiating.  Mr. Hubbard, 89-year-old retired Delphos and Minneapolis jeweler, died last Friday.

Surviving are three sisters, Mrs. Jessie Hahn, Minneapolis; Mrs. Lewis Hawkins, Ironton, Wis., and Mrs. Amy Larzalere, Chicago, Ill., and a brother, Bert W. Hubbard, Manhattan. Burial will be in Highland cemetery.

The newspaper obituary for Mecy Iola Ross Hubbard was found in the Minneapolis Messenger, Minneapolis, Kansas, Thursday, January 4, 1900, Page 6, Column 4:

Mecy Ross Hubbard was born in Marion county, Ill., January 2nd, 1873, and died in this city Dec. 20th, 1899. When a child three years of age she came to Ottawa county with her parents where she resided until 1893, when she moved with her parents to Oklahoma. In May 1897, she was married to J. M. Hubbard, of this city, at the home of her parents in Perry, Okla., and again moved to this city where she resided until her death, loved and respected by all who knew her. About two years ago her health commenced to fail, but nothing serious was apprehended until about a year ago when her husband consulted a physician and she returned on a visit to Oklahoma in the hope that a change of climate would be of benefit to her health. But change of climate, medical skill and loving care could do nothing to bring back the departed health, and on the 20th of last December she passed over the dark river into the world beyond. The bereaved husband and parents have the sincere sympathy of all in their sorrow. Mrs. Hubbard was one of those true women who make the world better and brighter for their having lived in it and her untimely death is mourned by all who knew her.

The newspaper obituary for Bernice Shively Hubbard was found in the Minneapolis Messenger, Minneapolis, Kansas, Thursday, July 11, 1907, Page 5, Column 4:

Young Married Lady Dies Suddenly

The citizens of Stockton were greatly shocked to learn on Monday morning that Mrs. J. M. Hubbard had a short time before passed to the other world, without previous warning of the great change. The lady had retired the night before in her usual health and spirits, and though for some time she had not been well, yet not the slightest premonitary sign of anything serious was shown. About 4 o'clock in the morning Mr. Hubbard was awakened by the heavy breathing of his wife, who was lying on her back. Thinking to relieve her he turned her on her side, when she quickly grew worse, and though he summoned Dr. Book at once, before his arrival she was dead. It was a terrible blow to the bereaved husband, unprepared as he was for such a dire calamity. The remains were taken to Zurich where her parents, Mr. and Mrs. B. Shively reside, on Tuesday morning and the funeral was held at the M. E. Church. A large number of sorrowing friends from that community, and several from Stockton were present.  The sermon was given by the pastor of the West Plainville Church.

Berneice Shively Hubbard was born in Pennsylvania, January 28, 1876. When a very small child she came to Rooks County with her parents, and for six years prior to her marriage lived in Stockton with the family of G. N. Wolf, who were greatly attached to her. She was married October 10, 1904, to J. M. Hubbard and leaves a devoted husband and a little boy Charles, aged about 2 years. She was a member of the M. E. Church and lived a consistent Christian life, beloved by a large circle of friends, who will cheirsh her memory as  one who left the world brighter and better for having lived in it. -Rooks County Record

The deceased was the wife of James Hubbard, formerly of this city, and is quite well known here. She was the second wife of Mr. Hubbard, the first one being Mecy Ross, of this city, and an employee in this office for a number of years. She died several years ago. Mr. Hubbard will have the sympathy of many Minneapolis people in his sad bereavement.


The newspaper obituary for Pearl Shively Hubbard was found in the Minneapolis Better Way, Minneapolis, Kansas, Thursday, January 1, 1920, Page 6, Column 3:

Obituary - Mrs. J. M. Hubbard

The passing of Mrs. J. M. Hubbard of Webster last Sunday morning was sad news to her friends, many of whom did not know that she had been in poor health. She became seriously ill last Sunday morning and lived only twenty-four hours. Reports that her death was caused by ptomaine poisoning or quick pneumonia were erroneous. Her physician, Dr. Brown diagnosed her case and pronounced her death due to that subtle malady, diabetes.

Pearl Shively was born March 22, 1883 at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Shively of Plainville, in Rooks county. In this home she grew to beautiful womanhood. She came to Stockton when a young woman to be with her sister Bernice, Mr. Hubbard's former wife, who after the birth of her baby Charles, developed heart trouble and lived but a short time. After her sister's death, Miss Shively devoted herself to the young child, lavishing upon him  devotion comparable only to that which he would have received from his own mother. When Mr. Hubbard lived in Stockton where he was engaged in the jewelry business, Miss Shively continued to care for the boy, either here or at the home of her parents. After Mr. Hubbard moved to Webster, he and Miss Shively were united in marriage, June 7, 1916, since which time she not only continued her devotion to the boy, now a lad of fifteen years, but has been her husband's good faithful helpmeet, assisting him in his business as well as in his home. During the periods when Mrs. Hubbard lived in Stockton she made many friends who admired her for her beauty of face and figure, and still more for the beautiful traits of character which were reflected in her motherly care of her little nephew. The funeral services will be at the home, and will be conducted by the Rev. L. F. Arend. Interment will be in the family lot at Zurich cemetery. The time of the funeral obsequies is not yet decided, as the storm --now abating--has made the Webster road impassable, and the road to Zurich may also require opening.

Our hearts to out in sympathy to Mr. Hubbard, who is again bereft of his companion, and to the young son who is once more deprived of a mother's love. --Rooks Co. Record, Dec. 11, 1919.

J. M. Hubbard is the son of Chas. Hubbard fo this city. He will be remembered by many of our readers, and all will be very sorry to hear of the death of his wife.

Edgar Senseney Shively And Wife Della A. Lightner From Pennsylvania To Kansas To California

Edgar Senseney Shively was the oldest child of Benjamin F. Shively and Elmina Thomas. (His parents were the subjects of last week's Shively blog article). Edgar Senseney Shively was born 23-Dec-1871 in Chambersburg, Franklin County, PA and died 11-Jan-1946 in Los Angles County, CA.  He was married on 8-Jan-1901 in St. Louis, MO to Della A. Lightner. Della was born 22-Jan-1875 and died 27-Jan-1956 in Los Angeles County, CA. 

Edgar Shively served in the Battery D, 6th U. S. Artillery during the Spanish American War. A brief chronology of this unit is as follows:
February 15, 1898 - Battleship Maine sinks in Havana, Cuba harbor after an explosion
March 1898 - The 6th Artillery Regiment is formed at Ft. McHenry, Baltimore, MD
April 25, 1898 - The U.S. declares war on Spain
July 1898 - Two batteries of the 6th Artillery ship from San Francisco to the Philippines, arriving in August. Battery D went to Manila and Battery G to Iloilo, on the Island of Panay
August 13, 1898 - Manila falls. Armistice declared and fighting between the U.S. and Spain ends
December 10, 1898 - Spanish American War ends with signing of the Treaty of Paris

During his service in the Spanish American War Edgar Shively was writing to his family in Rooks County, KS.  Some of this information was shared with the editors of the local newspaper which they then published.  The following article was extracted from The Stockton Review And Rooks County Record, Stockton, Kansas, Friday, April 29, 1898, Page 8, Column 2:
Edgar Shively writes very entertainingly of his life in Washington, and gives his views in unmistakable language of the mistaken economical policy of the government toward the regular army in time of peace. He is anxious to be on to assist in avenging the death of the brave boys on the Maine, and quotes the battle cry of the boys in blue "Remember the Maine". His only regret is that at least six months will be required to get the new battery in working order, so much more drill being required to perfect artillerymen than in any other branch of the service.

Extracted from The Stockton Review And Rooks County Record, Stockton, Kansas, Friday, June 17, 1898, Page 8, Col 4:
Battery B, sixth artillery, who have been in Washington, D.C., for some time are now ordered to San Francisco, Cali., with Manila as a probable destination, writes Edgar Shively; and all are jubilant over the prospect of taking an active part in the present unpleasantness.  Mr. Shively had endeavored to be allowed to leave his command and go to the Phillipines, even as a private, but did not succeed and so rejoices that the battery has been ordered that way.

From The Stockton Review And Rooks County Record, Stockton, Kansas, Friday, September 2, 1898,  Page 8, Column 4:
Edgar Shively sends back home a glowing account of the beauty of Honolulu, while his battery was there the last of July while enroute to Manilla. The boys had a very enjoyable time. Nothing was too good for Uncles Sam's boys in blue. They visited many ponts of interest in the city and were handsomely entertained one day in the palace grounds, where thirteen hundred soldier boys sat down at one time to tables arranged under stately palm trees. Banana and coconut trees grow by the walks and the product may be plucked at eaten almost any time. The city has electric lights, street cars and most of the modern improvements. Old Glory floated from almost every store and residence and the general feeling was one of gratification that the islands would soon be under the protection of the stars and stripes. Mr. Shively hoped his command would be allowed to remain until after the flag raising in August. The major part of the population of Honolulu is white and English the chief language spoken. The natives impressed him as a fine class of people, who would be a welcome addition to our population. His next letter will probably give his experience at a pineapple farm which he was invited to visit the day after his letter was sent.

The following was recorded in The Stockton Review And Rooks County Record, Stockton, Kansas, Friday, October 21, 1898, Page 8, Column 3:
From The Philippines
A letter from a former Rooks county boy, a member of battery D, 6th U. S. artillery:
Manila, Luzon Island
Sept 5th, 1898
Dear Folks: -- Well, as I have plenty of spare time, I will drop you a few lines. We have very nice quarters in what is called New Manila about 1/3 of a mile from the bay. We are living in a fine house, comparatively speaking, and my section has six rooms and a bath room in connection. The house was formerly the home of a Spanish colonel and has a fine flower garden in the front yard with a fountain flowing in the center. There are palm trees, coconut trees and various other tropical trees and plants.
What is known as the old city has a stone wall about 20 feet high, 100 feet wide at the bottom and tapers to 75 feet at the top. At the entrance there are large gates or doors which are let down from the inside with strong chains and the old style moat around the wall. The top of the wall is covered with old muzzle loading guns and a few modern disappearing guns, which all fall to us of course.
You should see the natives here how they dress. There is a half breed Japanese and Malay woman across the street from where I am writing, who has a kid about 18 months old under her left arm with nothing on it except a string around its neck; another youngster with her about 10 years old with nothing but a shirt of some kind of light stuff, which does not come down low enough to make it fit for respectable society. The mother is barefoot, has a narrow skirt on with a bodice of the decolate style, and of course is always in evening dress. I am afraid the law in our country would not tolerate such nudeness, but here nobody pays any attention to such things.
There are a great many of the soldiers here sick with dysentery and typhoid fever, and it seems almost impossible to cure either. The former is caused by fruit eating and the latter by the poor water.  We have to boil all the water before using it. I heard last night that 450 of the sick and wounded would be returned to the U.S.  About 40 nurses of the Red Cross society arrived from the U.S. the other day and are doing a good work among the sick soldiers, so I am told.
We expect trouble with the insurgents as they have refused to lay down their arms. I have been all over the city among them and around with them at night without being armed having no trouble. We are permitted to run around the city just the same was we would in the U.S. I was invited to the house of a Spanish officer the other evening and had a fine time but have forgotten his address so will have to wait until I run across him again to get his name.
I cannot think of anything more to write at present. As to the war I guess you know more than we do for the latest paper we have in July 27th, so you see how we are situated; do not know anything late. Have not had any letters from the states yet and am very anxious to hear from you, so when you receive this I wish you would answer at once for you know it takes a long time to get mail from there. I will close for the present by saying I am well, and with love and best wishes to all I am as ever your son,  Edgar Shively
(By the courtesy and wish of B. F. Shively, his father, the above letter is published and trust it will interest our readers. --Ed)

The following was taken from The Stockton Review And Rooks County Record, Stockton, Kansas, Friday, April 14, 1899, Page 8, Column 2:
Shively In A Battle
In Camp Aobut Four Miles South Of Manilla, On Firing Line,
February 22, 1899
Dear Folks:  As everything is quiet and the chaplain of the 23d infantry just been out and given us envelopes I will drop you a few lines. I am in good health. We are here in line of battle and have been for three days, but have done no fighting since the 16th. We are not going to move until we get the rest of our troops, as they don't want to take the troops too far from the city until we get more men, which will be in a few days. We have not had a man killed in our battery yet and only two wounded.
We had an engagement on the 15th at long range. We bombarded a church about 10 miles east of Manila, at a little town. Two guns was up on top of a mountain and threw shells over into them; in the meantime tow of our other guns got near the mountain from which the other guns was working; and shelled the out-skirts of the city, while the gun boat used their gatling guns. We they withdrew to a little village called San Pedre Mactia, which was formerly our out-post. The opposition, thinking we had been whipped made big advances and next morning they showed up coming over the hills by the thousands. We soon formed line of battle with the Washington's, California and Idaho troops. Our men lay waiting for them to advance and make the attack which they soon did. Our lines finally opened fire; the battery was bout the center of the line and fairly well protected. The firing began on the right but it soon proved that they were only making a feint on the right and then they opened heavily on the left, thinking they could turn it and flank us. But they mistook their men. Our troops now poured a deadly fire into them. We kept shelling the woods where they gathered for protection. One of our shrapnel killed 16 in one bunch. They finally broke and ran after suffering fearful loss.
We had no men killed but quite a few of our men were overcome by the intense heat. I sweat fearfully. I was setting fuses and the sweat litterly run off. I had to be careful not to let it drop into the powder and wet it, but I did not suffer any inconveniences from it afterwards. We have now been out since the 5th of February. I have not had my clothes off for nearly a week, and have been sleeping out for the last four days. This is the dry season and we are all in fine shape. Well I will have to close for this time so good-bye. I am sitting on one of our ammunition carts with my feet hanging out. I am as ever
                                                                      E. S. Shively,
                                                     Sergt. Light battery D, 6th Art.

This is the first harvest he has been on the retired list.
Among the best things in Rooks county is Mr. Shively's high bred live stock. Whatever he has he believes in keeping the best. He has 22 head of high grade Percheron horses, most of which he raised during the past seven years. He has refused $500 for a pair of five year olds. His geldings are valued at $250 each at the farm.
Two years ago he began to raise pure bred shorthorn cattle and now has twenty head of the registered Bates strain in reds and roans. Here we find the pure bred Duoc Jessey swine, the Rhode Island Red and he is now looking for a pure bred Scotch terrier. He is enthusiastic on having the best of everything and it pays.

Amos Jacob Shively And Wife Udora "Dora" Pettit Who Lived In Black Hawk County, Iowa And Marshall County, Iowa



















The following news article was extracted from The Waterloo Evening Courier, Waterloo, Iowa, Monday, March 28, 1910, Page 7, Columns 3-4:
Waterloo People Who Expect Great Riches
The above people are chiefly concerned in the location and securing of a vast estate, amounting to many millions of dollars, in Plymouth, England.  The tale is so strange as to be almost beyond belief.   The principal heir in this city is Mrs. Jane Stroud Pettit.  She and her husband, Irving Pettit, are both blind and are cared for by Mr. and Mrs. Amos J. Shiveley, residing at their home on Linden avenue near the city limits.  Mrs. Shiveley is a daughter of Mrs. Pettit.  Another family interested in Waterloo is that of W. E. Perkins, a son of Mrs. Shiveley.
Other heirs represented by a Waterloo attorney are Richard Stroud of Marble Rock and Henry Stroud of Kansas City.
Many years ago it is claimed an  estate was founded in England by David Stroud. At his death a portion of the heirs were found and distribution of the wealth made in their cases.  That which should come to the American heirs was held in trust.  Mrs. Pettit and her two brothers, Richard and Henry, could not be located and when they were first informed of the good luck in store for them refused to credit.  The founder of the estate was an uncle of the three people named as direct heirs.
Investigation has led the Waterloo attorney to place confidence in the report and he is in communication with a solicitor at Plymouth, England.  Those who expect to profit by the distribution of the estate are borne up by excitement and naturally believe that the money will come to them quickly, but on the other hand the attorney is loth to believe that any great part of the estate will be received before many months, possibly two years. Mrs. Pettit and her two brothers trace a direct descent from a brother of David Stroud.
The heirs state that between twelve and fifteen millions of dollars are ready from immediate distribution and that the estate in all amounts to nearly fifty millions of dollars.

Another account regarding the issue was located in The Waterloo Evening Courier,  Friday, March 25, 1910, Page 11, Column 4:
Prospects Of Great Wealth
Fortune Flirts With Several Waterloo People
Attorneys Engaged In Investigating Reported Estates Held In Trust
To have the prospect of shortly securing vast sums of money after having worked hard and been deprived of nearly all of the luxuries and even some of the necessities of life is held before a number of Waterloo people.  Recently it came to the attention of Mrs. Amos J. Shiveley, residing on lower Lafayette street, that an estate valued at perhaps a million and a half of dollars was held in Plymouth, England awaiting the appearance of the rightful heirs.  The estate is known as the Stroud estate.  Mrs. Shiveley's maiden name was Stroud, being a granddaughter of the founder of the immense fortune.  It appears that the mother of Mrs. Shiveley was notified of the existence of the fortune, but refused to credit the good luck in store for her.  Later other inquiries were sent out and Mrs. Shiveley located.  Other heirs that will probably participate in the division of the fortune are Frank and William Petitt and Mrs. Irving Petitt.  For some time an attorney of the city has been investigating the matter, but so far no definite information has been imparted to those chiefly concerned.
W. E. Perkins, a motorman on the street car line, is a son of Mrs. Shiveley and participation in the wealth will bring much needed comfort to his home in which are a number of children.
"Luck" Very Generous
Not content with holding up this prospect before these people a recent advertisement in a newspaper asked for the location of one A. J. Shiveley, stating that an immense estate in Pennsylvania awaited the rightful claimant.  This advertisement for some time passed unnoticed in this city, but friends finally took the matter up and called Mr. Shiveley's attention to it.
Mr. Shively has given the matter to an attorney to investigate, and it is hoped by friends of the family that the good fortune will not prove a myth.  The Mr. Shiveley referred to in the second instance is the husband of Mrs. Shiveley of the first part of the story.  Mr. Shiveley is the step-father of Mr. Perkins.
Whatever comes of these reports the members of the family are loth to credit them until they see the actual coin in their hands, but it is certainly a pleasure to anticipate what might be done if all of them should suddenly become millionaires.

Amos J. Shively was born 22-Feb-1853 in Allen County, Ohio and died 24-Sep-1941 in Marshalltown, Marshall County, Iowa.  The following newspaper obituary was located:   Amos J. Shively, 1112 Bromely Street, a resident of this city since 1886, died at the Deaconess Hospital at 10:30 Wednesday Morning.  He had been in poor health for the past three years and his last illness confined him to the hospital for two weeks.  Death was due to age debility.
Mr. Shively was born in Allen County, Ohio, February 22, 1853, the son of Jacob and Sadona Shivley.  His early years were spent in Ohio and later in Kansas.  He married udora Perkins, June 12, 1884, at Stockton, Kansas.  They lived there for eight years and then came to Marshalltown.  Mrs. Shively died in Marshalltown in 1926.
There were three children born to Mr. & Mrs. Shivley.  One daughter proceeded him in death, and surviving are:  Mrs. Harley (Lillie) Carkhuff of Quarry and Mrs. Dewy Bailey of this city.  There are also two step-sons, W. E. Perkins of Fredricksburg, and W. S. Perkins of this city.  An adopted son, Clarence Shively of this city, 19 grandchildren and 17 great-grandchildren also survive.
Funeral services were held at the Pursel Funeral Home Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock with burial in the Iowa River cemetery.

Udora "Dora" Petitt was born 30-Oct-1853 in Illinois and died 26-Mar-1926 in Marshalltown, Marshalltown County, Iowa.  The newspaper obituary for her is as follows:  Mrs. Udona Shively, wife of Amos Shively, 112 Bromely Street, died at the Deaconess Hospital at 11:40 Sunday night of pneumonia following a week long illness.
Mrs.Shively was born in Rockford, Ill, October 30th, 1853, daughter of William Petitt and Jane Strout Petitt.  She was married to James Perkins whom she divorced. In 1883 she married Mr. Shively in Rooks County, Kansas.  After making their home at Wichita, Kan. for eight years, Mr. & Mrs. Shively came to this city, which had since been their home.
Mrs. Shively is survived by her husband and five children, Walter E. and William Perkins, Mrs. Harley (Lillie) Carkhuff, Mrs. Julia Bailey and Clarence Shively of this city.  Two brothers, Charles Petitt, of Fredericksburg, and Francis Petitt  of Waterloo, and a sister Mrs. Mary Moody of Fredericksburg, also survive.  Funeral services were held from the Persel-Davis Chapel Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock.  Burial in Iowa River cemetery.
