W. L. Shively Dropped Dead Last Night.

He Was Talking to a Neighbor and Suddenly Dropped Dead of Heart Trouble- Burial at Bethany Sunday.

William L. Shively, a veteran of the civil war, dropped dead Thursday evening at about eight-thirty o'clock while standing in the front yard at his home on East Fourteenth street. He was talking to Gus Farrell, a neighbor when he was stricken and fell to the ground. Robert Belcher, Will Davis and Milliard Webber were called and carried the body into the house. Heart failure is given as the cause of his death.

The deceased was sixty-nine years of age, having been born November 20, 1833, on a farm in Van Buren township. His early life was spent on the farm and when the civil war broke out he enlisted in Captain Stephens' company in the Twenty-seventh Indiana regiment. He fought in the war until its close after which he returned to this city where he had since resided. He was a carpenter by trade but his health has been so poor that he has not worked regularly for some time.

He had been married three times and is survived by his last wife, to whom he was married fifteen years ago, and several children. Two brothers of the deceased Sanford and Henry died last year. The children of the deceased who are living are Mrs. Carrie Carber and Ira Shively of Kansas City, Mo., Mrs. Sarah Boller of Coffeeburg, Mo., Henry Shively of Gallaton, Mo., Mrs. Lot Henry, Miss Reha and Master Ray Shively of this city. Mrs. Ed Martin and Miss Dora Blakely are step-daughters.
