Henry S. SHIVELY died Thursday morning of Brights disease. Mr. SHIVELY had been sick for several weeks, and his death had been expected at almost any hour. Mr. SHIVELY was born in Orange county, Indiana, September 4, 1836 and at the time of his death was 64 years, 7 months, and 21 days of age. When he was small he came to Van Buren township, this county, and until last March when he moved here, he resided in that township. In 1858 he married Mary HERRON. To this union was born nine children, seven of whom are living. They are David of Kansas, Willet of this place, Mrs. Felix KELLER of Bogard township, John and Ira of Illinois, Mrs. Fred BROOKS of Sugarland, and Effie who is at home. Mr. SHIVELY was a republican in politics, a member of the Christian church, and an excellent law abiding citizen, worth of the highest esteem. In 1862 he enlisted in the U. S. Army in the company of which Z. V. Garten was Captain, and served until the close of the Civil War. The funeral services were conducted by Eld. G. H. Buchanan yesterday morning. Short services were held at the home and also at Liberty six miles south of here where the remains were laid to rest in that cemetery. He leaves an aged wife, and the seven children to mourn the loss of a husband and father.
