Aged War Veteran

Owen Shively Dies At Andrews Home Friday

Long A Resident There

Member Of Famous Forty-Seventh Indiana Volunteers During Civil War--Funeral Sunday

Owen Shively, a respected resident and venerable war veteran of Andrews, died Friday evening at six o'clock at his home, after an illness of three months with heart troubles, superinduced by general infirmities.  He was eighty-five years, four months and three days old.  Mr. Shively had been a resident of Andrews since a young man and was one of the familiar characters of that town many years.

Born in Starke county, Ohio, March 20, 1824, Mr. Shively came to Huntington county and located in the little hamlet of Andrews when a young man.  In 1848 he married Miss Mary McClure, who died July, 1889.  Children surviving this union are Jacob and Henry Shively and Lizzie Gibbons, who live in the west, and Mrs. John Lyons of Andrews, who recently came there from Fitzgerald, Ga.   His second marriage was to Mrs. Eva Plum at Andrews on March 11, 1890, and she survives him.

On October 24, 1861, Mr. Shively enlisted as a private in Company E 47th Indiana Infantry, and served through many important engagements with that famous organization.  He was discharged on December 14, 1863, but realized the need of further services to his country and re-enlisted the next day and went again to the front.  He remained with his command through the hard campaigns in the south until his discharge October 23, 1865, at Baton Rouge, La., at the close of the war.  His service record was a valiant one and spoke well of his valor as a patriot during the trying times of the rebellion.  

Returning to Andrews after the war, he settled down to a quiet life and never became prominent nor sought publicity.  Surviving, beside his immediate family, are a brother, Jacob Shively of Oregon, and two sisters, Mrs. Lizzie Gibbons of Iowa and Mrs. Joel Cramer of Andrews.  He was a member of the Christian church at Andrews and funeral services will be conducted in the edifice on Sunday afternoon at  2:30, Rev. J. T. Lucky officiating.  Pall bearers will be selected as per his request from the G.A.R. organization at Andrews.  Interment will be at Riverside.

Death Of Mrs. Shively

The death of a prominent and aged inhabitant of Dallas township occurred Saturday afternoon.  The deceased is Mrs. Owen Shively, aged sixty-eight years, whose husband survives her.  She was a sister to Captain Wintrode, of this city, whom she leaves, with two other brothers, Samuel and Daniel, and a sister, Mrs. Sarah Isenberger.  Of a family of thirteen children, only four now remain, of whom the Captain is the oldest.

A singular characteristic in the Wintrode family is that its membership numbered four sons and nine daughters exactly duplicated in this respect the family of the grandparents on the mother's side.  Not only were the numbers exactly alike, but the sons and daughters came in the same order and strange to say, the deaths in the two families are very nearly counterparts.

Mrs. Shively was regarded with high esteem and will be greatly missed in the community.

The funeral took place at Andrews Monday afternoon and from this city was attended by Captain and Mrs. Wintrode.

Mrs. Shively Died Suddenly

Had Just Completed Decorating Grave Of Late Husband

Acute Heart Illness

Excitement Of Sad Emotion Caused Demise

"I Wonder Who Will Be Buried First?"

Was Question Put To Mrs. Shively By Mrs. Myers, Who Accompanied Her--Then Came Collapse And Quick Death

With an answer to the question, "I wonder who will be the first of us two to be buried next?" hardly passed her lips, Mrs. Eva Shively, widow of the late Owen Shively, fell in a faint and expired within a few minutes while in Riverside cemetery at Andrews Tuesday morning.  She had gone to the cemetery in company with Mrs. Myers and the two had placed floral tributes on the graves of their husbands, the two being buried on the same lot.  As the ladies turned to depart, Mrs. Myers spoke to Mrs. Shively with the question, "I wonder which of us will be buried first?" Mrs. Shively answered that such a question was hard to answer, and in the same breath complained of illness.

Seeing that her companion was about to faint, Mrs. Myers stepped to her side. Mrs. Shively braced up.  It began to sprinkle just then and Mrs. Myers asked her if she thought she could walk to the shelter of the tool house nearby.  Mrs. Shively replied that she thought she could, but collapsed before she had taken many steps.  Several men at the tool house rushed to the ladies and assisted in carrying Mrs. Shively to the shelter of the small structure and there she died immediately.  The body was taken to the Kilty undertaking rooms and later to the Shively home.  Death was due to heart trouble.

Mrs. Shively was sixty-nine years old.  She had been afflicted with heart trouble a number of months, suffering frequent attacks.  Monday night an acute illness came near being fatal, but as usual she rallied and Tuesday morning was apparently in her regular health.  She was twice married, her former name having been Plum.  Both husbands are dead, Mr. Shively's death having occurred two years ago last month.  Mrs. Shively and Mrs. Myers were intimate friends and they planned to visit the cemetery Decoration day  morning to decorate the graves of their husbands, whose graves were on the same lot.

Throughout their stay at the graves, Mrs. Myers noticed that Mrs. Shively was laboring under sad emotion.  Several times the afflicted lady remarked she would have to rest a bit to get her breath.  After they started from the graves, Mrs. Shively was seen to put her hand to her breast and gasp as if in sharp pain. Then followed the fainting spell and collapse, terminating in her death.

Surviving are three sons by her first marriage.  They are Alfred Plum of Wabash, Charles of Logansport and Henry of Hammond.  Funeral arrangements were delayed pending the arrival of the latter from Hammond.  Interment will be at Riverside, beside the grave she decorated Tuesday.  Services will be conducted in the Christian church, she having held membership in that church.

Anna Shively Cline And Leah Shively Lantis, Daughters Of Ulrich Shively And Christiana Shideler In Huntington County, IN

The obituary for Gideon Lantis, husband of Leah Shively Lantis, gives additional information on the history of the family connections.  Extracted from The Huntington Democrat, Thursday, February 2, 1888, Page 5, Columns 3-4:

A Pioneer Gone

On Sunday the 22nd of January, 1888, Mr. Gideon Lantis Sr. complained of not feeling well and remained thus till Tuesday following when he received a stroke of paralysis which terminated in death at about 8 o'clock P.M. Thursday, January 26th, 1888.  From the time he was stricken until death he was both speechless and unconscious.  The organs of respiration were all that showed any signs of life.  A physician was called early but so severe was the stroke that medical aid was of little or no avail.  It now became evident that the time of his demise was at hand.  both friends and neighbors in their minds began preparing for the worst.  The funeral occurred on Sunday following at the white church, near Browns Corners. The services were conducted by Eld. Dorsey Hodgen of the German Baptist faith, using for a text, "What is man that thou art mindful of him?" (Hebrews II, 6.)  The funeral was the largest one held there since the burial of those killed by the boiler explosion at Browns Corners ten years previous.  The church is large and both seats and aisles were filled to their utmost capacity.  A great number were therefore compelled to remain on the outside.

Pioneers came from various parts of the county to pay the last tribute of respect to one who shared alike with them the hardships incident to living in the woods.  Sorrow was depicted upon the countenances of all.  Stout hearts were made contrite and sympathetic tears flowed copiously and unrestrained.  All knew that Mr. Lantis was dead and realized that a friend had gone from them.  He being an early settler was still in possession of those noble, christian, and samaritan principles that governed in pioneer times.  He, unlike many of this day of selfishness and independence always had time, when he met a neighbor, to stop and inquire after the welfare of the family.  He was always on hand in sickness, not merely to be seen and be in the way, but to administer to the wants of the suffering and needy.  Had one a piece of work he could not perform alone, he had only to let Mr. Lantis know it, and he was sure to have help......

Mr. Gideon Lantis Sr. was born to Samuel and Senee Lantis April 16th, 1813, in Preble county, Ohio.  He died January 26th, 1888, being 74 years, 9 months and 10 days old.  He was married August 17th, 1836, to Leah Shively, in Preble county, Ohio.  She and Jacob Shively Sr., of Wells county, Indiana, and Anna Cline, widow of the late James Cline, are brother and sisters--the only members of the old Shively family now living.  Their ages are respectively 68, 74 and 72 years.  Mr. and Mrs. Lantis,  Samuel Wolfe, Jacob Shively Sr., James Cline, John Detro Sr., Henry Wintrode and Daniel Shively, with their families, emigrated to Huntington county, Indiana.  There were brother and brother-in-law.  All are dead now save Mr. Jacob Shively, Mrs. Gideon Lantis, and Mrs. James Cline, his sisters.

Samuel Wolfe, Gideon Lantis and Jacob Shively bought and settled on the north half of section four, in Rockcreek township, this county.  The remainder settling in other portions of the county.  At that time but few settlements existed here.  It was therefore but little else than one dense forest with the Indian trails through it serving as highways leading from one isolated settlement to another.  They put up the first night or two after their arrival in an empty hut belonging to the Miami Indians, on the farm now owned by Mr. Henry W. Bonewits.  The natives were apparently unfriendly, and the emigrants wishing to avoid any trouble, moved a quarter of a mile further into their own woods, and put up a tent in which they lived until they erected three log cabins; one for Samuel Wolfe, one for Gideon Lantis and one for Jacob Shively.

They raised these buildings with the aid of their own hands.  There were only three families living between them and Huntington which was little more than a white settlement surrounded by Indians.  Markle was just a settlement.  The year of their arrival Thomas O'Thigh taught the first school in Rockcreek township on what is known as the Jonas Kelsey farm.  Reader, I will let you contrast times and improvements then with the same now.  When done you will see that we will forever owe a debt of gratitude to the memory of those who are dead and gone and left the fruit of their labors for our enjoyment.

In 1845, Mr. Lantis embraced Christianity and thereupon united with the German Baptist church.  He continued steadfastly in the faith until his death.  There were born to him twelve children, four sons and eight daughters, five of whom are dead.  Those who survive are Samuel Lantis, Daniel Lantis, Gideon Lantis Jr., Jacob S. Lantis, Christina Freds, Jane Stetsel, Elizabeth Fahl, thirty-two grandchildren and fourteen great-grandchildren.         L.E.S.

On Vacation

Enterprise Dry Goods Company In Adrian, Lenawee County, Michigan 1894

On the 1870 City of Coldwater, County of Branch Michigan is the household of John W. Shively, age 34 who is a dry goods merchant, wife Emma age 28,  and son Fred W age 7. John W. Shively was the son of John Shively and Margaret Myers. John W. Shively was born ca 1832 and died 30-Dec-1902, Emma Hadley Shively was born ca 1842 and died 22-Feb-1873, and son Fred W. Shively was born ca 1862 and died 30-Mar-1895.  Members of this family are buried in Oak Grove Cemetery, Coldwater, Branch County, Michigan.

The following information was extracted from the Evening Telegram, Adrian, Michigan,  Saturday, January 13, 1894, Page 3, Column 5:

Nothing Succeeds Like Success

Last Thursday the Enterprise Dry Goods Co., of Coldwater, opened at No. 3 East Maumee street, and since that time the store has been filled with buyers.  Mr. Fred Shively, who has charge of this store, says that business here has more than met his expectations, in fact on the opening day he was obliged to get six additional clerks to wait upon customers.  The Enterprise Dry Goods Store is all its name implies, and the public are not slow to appreciate this fact.  They did not come to Adrian to unload a lot of cheap goods, but are giving the best of everything in the dry goods line at prices never duplicated in Lenawee county before.  Follow the crowd and you will get there.

The Evening Telegram, Adrian, Michigan, Monday, January 29, 1894, Page 3, Column 3:

Enterprise Dry Goods Co.

The Crowds Still Continue At Their Store To Get The Bargains Offered

The phenomenal success of the Enterprise Dry Goods Co., of Coldwater, since they came to this city three weeks ago, has been somewhat of a surprise to people not acquainted with their way of doing business.  Their store has been crowded nearly every day, and they have disposed of a large amount of goods. In the afternoon and evenings the crowds have increased into veritable jams, and the way they carried away goods would indicate that the ladies know bargains when they see them.

This store, at No. 3 East Maumee St., is none other than a branch of the well-known Shively Dry Goods Co., of Coldwater, which has been in existence in that city for the past 35 years, and has gained a reputation for strictly first-class goods at lowest prices, second to no other establishment in Southern Michigan.  Fred W. Shively, the junior member of the firm, has charge of the branch store in this city, and the large business enjoyed here would indicate that he is no novice at the business and knows how to cater to the public wants.

Dry Goods are sold at auction every afternoon at 2 o'clock, and every evening at 7 o'clock.  As their stay will terminate soon in this city, it behooves everyone looking for bargains to get in and secure some of the plums before it is everlastingly too late.

The Evening Telegram, Adrian, Michigan, Tuesday, May 22, 1894, Page 3, Column 3:

A Coldwater dispatch states that the Shively Dry Goods company has been compelled to close its doors, and L. S. Baumgartner & Co., have possession of the stock.  The liabilities are $9,000, and the assets are probably about the same. This is the firm that ran an auction dry goods store in Adrian for some time last winter, and without a doubt they were selling goods at less than cost, to raise money.

The Evening Telegram, Adrian, Michigan, Tuesday, April 2, 1895, Page 3, Column 2:

Fred Shively, a Coldwater young man well known in this city, committed suicide in Chicago last Saturday night.  He was the gentleman who conducted the Enterprise dry goods store in this city one year ago in the building now occupied by The Leader, No 3 East Maumee street.  He ran the store for his father J. W. Shively, of Coldwater and acted as auctioneer each evening.  He was a very genteel young man and made many friends while here.  Shively had gone to Chicago to have his eyes treated and was told his case was hopeless.  He was 32 years of age.

Mrs. Shively Died Of An Injury

Fell a Week Ago and Broke Her Hip and Owing to Age the Injury

Proved to be a Fatal One

West Of The City

As the result of a fall about a week ago, from which she sustained a broken hip, Mrs. William Shively, residing two miles west of the Anderson Carriage works, died this morning at 1:15 o'clock.

The funeral arrangements have not yet been made.

Mrs. Shively is the wife of William Shively, a farmer.  She had resided at the farm home where death occurred for two years.  The husband and several grown children survive, only one of whom, Mrs. Rose Ink, was at home.  She had come home but a week or so ago, in order to be with the invalid mother.  The other children are also married, and reside at a distance.

The deceased was about 63 years of age, and the injury sustained when she fell a week ago refused to heal, owing to her age.
