Obituary of A. A. Shiver 
as written in "The Camilla Enterprise" dated 24 May 1918.  

Camilla, Georgia.  
Mr. A. A. Shiver, one of Mitchell county's pioneer citizens, and 
a man generally loved and respected, died suddenly from heart failure early Saturday, 18 
May 1918, morning at his home about six miles from Pelham. Mr. Shiver had been in bad 
health for a long time and was subject to attacks of heart trouble. Mrs. Shiver went out 
into the garden to gather vegetables early Saturday morning and returning to the house 
found Mr. Shiver dead. Funeral services were held at Mt. Zion church on Sunday, 19 
May 1918, morning at 10:00 AM, Rev A. G. Ott conducting the services. Interment was 
made in Mt. Zion cemetery. The deceased is survived by his widow and eight children, 
five daughters, Mrs. Albert Jones of Moultrie, Mrs. Bobbie Shiver, and Misses Freddie, 
Lily and Gracie Shiver and three sons, Messrs. Vergil Lafayette and Horace Shiver, all of 
this county. Of his paternal family Mr. Shiver is survived by only one brother, Mr. Isom 
Shiver of Worth county. Mr. Shiver was 62 years of age. He was born and reared in this 
county and has been honored and respected for a long number of years by all who knew 
him, as a truly good man. For thirty-five years he had been a devoted member of Mt. 
Zion church. As a man who has been constant and true in his Christian life the deceased 
will be sadly missed by those who have known and admired him for a long time.
