The Verden News
August 15, 1907



Died, at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. H. G. Harmom southeast of 
this city, Monday August 11, 1907, Mrs. George A. Shively, aged twenty 
four years and eight months, and her little three months old son. The 
mother had been suffering but a few weeks but had been threatened with 
consumption for the past two years.

All the care and love that skilled physicians and anxious relatives and 
neighbors could devise and apply for her comfort and assistance were 
brought into play, but the fiat of Him who rules our incomings and 
outgoings had been issued after a brief struggle, despite the prayers 
and entreaties of all who knew and loved her, their appeals were 
overruled and on Monday afternoon the sufferer's spirit took it's flight 
to that home the Christian believes is the fulfillment of the life 
everlasting.

When the bloom of childhood was blooming into the blush of refined 
womanhood she had sought the pearl of great price and made it chief 
among the jewels of her youthful hopes. The intervening years have been 
full of consistent plan and wise action.

This was the foundation of the maturity of her character. For upon the 
white canvass of her life she drew no uncertain lines which needed to be 
erased.

She ran the journey of her life in twenty four years. It is a path 
marked with deeds of kindness and cheer. Flowers not thorns, sunshine 
not shadow, did she scatter everywhere. With these she was lavish. Truth 
was the inspiration of her life and by kindness she exemplified its 
great worth. Was not her life full of Godlikeness?

The funeral services were held at the Baptist church Tuesday morning at 
9 o'clock, Rev. Harmon officiating. Songs were touchingly rendered by 
the choir of the Baptist church. Her and her little son were put too 
rest in one casket in our Silent City south of this city immediately 
after the services.

To the broken hearted father, mother, sisters, husband, two children and 
other relatives who sit in sorrow where her footsteps shall never again 
find echo, we extend the sympathy of the entire community.
