Shively Gretchen H. Abts was born in Germany, January 11, 1858; she died at her home in Franklin, Nebraska, March 18, 1924, at the age of 65 years, 2 months and 7 days. ‘Shortly after her birth she was brought to America with the other members of the family. The family resided for a short time at Peoria, Ilinois, removing in 1861 to Fairbury, linois. Here the home remained for many years. From the home at Fairbury she went out to be united in marriage to Harrison C. Shively, the marriage occurring in Logan county, Ilinois, on October 26, 1879. ‘Mr. and Mrs. Shively lived in Logan county until 1882, in which year they move to Dewitt, Ilinois, where they resided for about two years. In 1884 they moved west and located in the Macon, Nebraska, neighborhood, where they lived for twenty-one years. Then followed a residence of one year some miles ‘west of Bloomington. At the end of the year they fixed their home on a farm at the edge of Bloomington, where they remained for about fourteen years. Leaving the farm in 1920, they lived for a few months in Bloomington, and then removed to Franklin, where the family home has since been located. "Twelve children were born to Mr. and Mrs, Shively, nine of whom survive the mother, Mrs. Mary F. Williams, of eastern Wyoming, near the city of Edgemont, South Dakota; Minnie A. Shively, of Franklin; Mrs. June A. Owen, of Kansas City, Mo.; Mrs, Grace Tupper, of Edgemont, South Dakota, Mrs. Clara M. Kelley, of Bloomington, Nebr.; Harry W. Shively, of Edgemont, South Dakota; Harvey D. Shively and Albert W. Shively, of Franklin, Nebr.; and John H. Shively of Bloomington, Nebr. Mrs. Shively is also survived by eleven grandchildren and numerous other relatives. For a number of years Mrs. Shively has been the victim of a nervous disorder which made her later life a period of suffering an distress. Added to this in more recent years came a bodily ailment which gradually weakened her resistance until the frail tenement of life could bear no more, and she passed quietly away. In early life Mrs. Shively became a Christian and united with the membership of the Methodist Episcopal church in Fairbury, liinois. In 1892 her membership was transfered to the church at Macon, and in 1905 to the church at Bloomington, where she has ever since remained a member. Until the recent years of her suffering came upon her, Mrs. Shively was an eamest worker in the church and in all the affairs of the Kingdom of God. She gave her service lovingly and unstintedly. Her Christian character was lovely in every way. She was wonderful as a wife and mother, and the memory of her will linger like a benediction in the lives of her loved ones and all who knew her. For the night is past and everlasting day has dawned. To her the gates swing wide; she leaves a world of transient things, with its sorrow and its heartbreak and enters with unspeakable delight a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God, where all ‘sorrow is banished, and all tears are wiped away. ‘The funeral was held from the home Friday at 2 p.m., conducted by Rev. N. G. Palmer, pastor of the Methodist church. Interment was made in Greenwood cemetery.
