Dr. Alex Shively --  90
Dr. Alexander Shively died at the home of his son, Dr. O. H. Shively on Central Avenue 
in this city, Saturday morning, March 15, at the advanced age of ninety years, eleven 
months and fifteen days, having been born in this county March 31, 1839.  Dr. Shively 
had been in gradually declining health for the past several months, and his death 
resulted from infirmities due to extreme age.  Up until a few weeks ago, when his 
decline became more rapid, Dr. Shievly was a familiar figure on the streets of the 
city, and kept up remarkably well for one of his age.  Dr. Shively was twice married, 
his first wife having been Miss Elia Jane Massie, to whom he was married at Cane 
Valley fifty-nine years ago, and who preceded him to the grave in June, 1894.  In 
1899, he was married to Miss Annie Miller, of this county, who died at Burdick in 
1901.  Although a native of this county and having spent most of his life within its 
bounds he followed his profession for a time in Greensburg, coming to this city to 
make his home about eleven years ago.  During his life, Dr. Shively was one of the 
outstanding physicians in this section of the state and kept abreast of his profession 
until declining years forced him to retire from active practice.  He not only stod 
high in his profession, but as a public spirited citizen and a Christian man.  He was 
a member of the Friendship Baptist Church, and lived a consistent Christian life, and 
took an active part in the church work so long as his health permitted.  Though his 
advanced age had kept him more or less closely confined during the immediate past, he 
was a man who will be greatly missed, and leaves a large circle of friends throughout 
the county who will regret his passing.  During the Civil War, the deceased served 
with the Union Army with distinction, and was one of the few remaining veterans of 
that war in the county. He is survived by one son, Dr. O. H. Shively of this city, and 
one granddaughter, Mrs. Raymond Evans, of Louisville.

Funeral services were conducted from the Campbellsville Baptist Church Sunday, March 
16, conducted by the pastor Rev. J. L. Robinson, assisted by Rev. Alfred Erickson, 
pastor of the Presbyterian church.  The interment was held in the cemetery in Cane 
Valley in the family lot.  The following friends of the family served as pall bearers: 
 R. W. Wilson, Eugene Rice, William Moore, James Buchanan, Dr. J. L. Atkinson, of this 
city, and J. L. Wilson, of Greensburg.

Among the friends and relatives from out of town who attended the funeral Sunday were: 
 Mr. and Mrs. Edward Shively and daughter, Mr. Braxton Massie, and Ben Chewning, of 
Columbia; Mr. J. W. Sweeney, Lancaster; Mr. and Mrs. Brummel Penick, Dr. Booker, and 
Messrs. Woodson Lewis, Sr., Woodson Lewis, Jr., and Theodore Leachman, of Greensburg. 
 A large number of beautiful floral designs attested the love and respect of sorrowing 
friends.

Dr. O. H. Shively Dies Suddenly
Noted Physician Suffers Stroke in Office, and Dies Before Aid Arrives

Many Floral Offerings
The community was inexpressably shocked Saturday morning by the announcement that Dr. 
Omar H. Shively had died suddenly in his office in the Central Sales Block.  Dr. 
Shively was a member of one of the pioneer families of the county, and had for 
thirty-five years been a practicing physician in this and Green counties.  He was born 
in Green county in 1871, and had therefore only recently passed his sixtieth birthday. 
 He graduated from the Medical Department of the University of Louisville in 1893, and 
soon afterward established a practice of his profession in Green county, where he 
succesfully followed his profession for twenty years, later coming to this city where 
he has practiced for the past fifteen years.  He was the son of the late Dr. Alex 
Shively, for years a well known physician in this county, who preceded him to the 
grave March 1930.  He was married to Miss Mattie Smith, of Green county, in 1894.  He 
is survived by his widow and one daughter, Mrs. Raymond Evans, of Louisville.  Funeral 
services were conducted from the residence on Central Avenue
