David W. Shivers died at his home in Chino Valley on 
the night of February 3, 1901 in his 75th year.  Mr. 
Shivers was one of the early pioneers of Arizona, 
having come here with his family in March 1867.  He 
located in the Chino Valley, twenty one miles north 
of Prescott and engaged in farming and cattle raising.  
He leaves three daughters and one son to mourn his 
death: Mrs. J.L. Fisher of Prescott, Mrs. R.E. 
Farington of Phoenix, Mrs. Frances Forsee of Tempe 
and John T. Shivers with whom he made his home.  Mr. 
Shivers was born and raised in Missouri, therefore 
was a life long pioneer of the west, as even his 
ancestors before him were pioneers of Tennessee.  
His grandfathers both fought in the war of the 
revolution under Washington and his own father 
fought through the war of 1812.  Mr. Shivers was 
made fit by precept and education for the trials 
and difficulties of a life such as always confronts 
the pioneer of any new county.  God's blessings on the 
Arizona pioneers for they are fast gathering home--
