In Memoriam.

	Among the many who laid down their lives for their country, on the 
bloody field of Chicantauga, was Alfred Shively, son of Henry Shively, Esq., of 
this place.  In his death, his parents and community have sustained a severe 
loss.  No more worthy young man ever lived.  He was one who made warm friends 
wherever he went.  At the time of his enlistment he resided in Illinois, and 
his employers tried to persuade them not to leave them.  Said he: "When I see 
men with families turning out to defend my country, I cannot stay behind."  His 
memory will ever be fondly cherished by all who knew him.  May he who tempers 
the wind to the shorn lamb, sustain and comfort his aged parents in this their 
hour of affliction.  And in view of the new call for more men to crush this 
infernal rebellion, may our young men remember the example set them by young 
Shively, and "go and do likewise."  W.R.P.

Bowling Green, October 20, 1863.
