ROY LEE SHIVELY AND MARION MARGARET

PENNSYLVANIA — The following newspaper obituary was found in The Traer Star
Clipper, Traer, Illinois, March 5, 1886:
Samuel Shively was born in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, January 27, 1807.
In 1826 he married to Miss Lucy Watkins. Soon after their marriage they expressed a
desire to walk the journey of life with the people of God, they were buried in baptism with
Christ, arose from the water in newness of life, and united with the Baptist Church in
Victor, New York. In 1826 he had come to Chicago. He was the pioneer tailer of the village,
locating there when Gen. Scott commanded the post when there were but a few log huts
and Indian tepees on the site of the present city. His first work there was done for soldiers,
Gen. Scott kindly loaning him a “goose”. Returning to New York the same year he
remained til 1833, when he again went to Iilinois, this time with his family, locating at
Prophetstown, on the Rock River in Whiteside County. After remaining a few years at
Prophetstown, he removed to Lydon in the same county where he and his wife united
with the Baptist Church, In December 1843, he buried the wife of his youth. In May 1845
he was married to Mrs. Jane Hubbard. In the fall of 1856 he moved with his family to
Fremont township, Bremer County (iowa). Soon after locating in lowa he and his wife
united with the Baptist Church in Waverly. Since that time he has been well known in the
Cedar Valley Baptist Association. In 1858 he helped to organize a Baptist Church in
Frederika where he was elected to the office of deacon, which he held for several years.
In 1865 he moved again, this time to Fredericksburg, Chickasaw County, where they
again united with the church of the same faith. For thirteen years he has been a resident
of Traer. For several years he has been afflicted with heart disease. In December last he
and his wife went to St. Augustine, Florida, for his health. It was here the lamp of light
went out; he crossed the river of death to the bright shore beyond, February 17, 1886, in
the eightieth year of age. For nearly sixty years he had lived a consistent Christian as a
faithful follower of the Lord Jesus, never shunning a known duty. The three requirements
of a Christian he never forgot: faith, hope and charity. In the prime of life his theme of
song was: “Lord, in the morning Thou shalt hear my voice ascending in prayer and praise
to Thee,” but in the decline of life: “Thus far the Lord has led me on.” His prayers for the
Church and the unconverted were fervent. The desire of his heart was told by his earnest,
piteous appeals to the throne of mercy for his children. For the past six years he had been
amember of the Seventh Day Advent Church. He leaves a wife and five children. Four of
the children live in lowa and one in Illinois. Their loss is his gain. Having been faithful until
death, he has gone to receive the promised crown of life. The deceased was buried
February 23 in the Buckingham Cemetery (NW of Traer in the far NE of Tama County).
Rev. S. S. Bradford conducted the funeral from the M. E. Church and delivered a fitting
eulogy to the departed from Prov. 16:31 “The hoary head is a crown of glory, fit be found
in the way of righteousness”.

‘Another Burglar Chapter
Burglars were on Saturday morning discovered in the cellar of Mrs. Hanson's
residence on South Franklin street, and for a time created considerable excitement.
George Shively, driver of a milk wagon, discovered a light in the cellar about 5:30
o'clock and he closed the cellar door while he aroused the household. In the meantime
one of the burgiars ran up the steps and out of the door and escaped although Shively
attempted to check him. Then the second burglar came up, but Shively grabbed him
and held him in his ‘vice grip". But the burglar finally wrenched himself loose and ran
toward an outhouse. It was thought that he ran into the outhouse and Shively
barricaded the door. By this time the young man, women and children in the household
were aroused and held a conversation. Val Ridsdale, Mrs. Hanson's son, found the gas
man with his buggy on the street and they drove up to police headquarters and
Sergeant Hall went down with them, followed by the patrol wagon. When the blue coats
arrived the barricade was lifted and it was discovered that the burglar, instead of going
in, had run around the house and escaped. Finally the cellar was investigated and the
burglar’s bag was found, well laden. They had put in a ham, two loaves of bread, some
cans of jelly and some onions. There was also half a ham, the spoils of some other raid.
