The entire community was shocked and saddened to hear Wednesday morning of the death of Mrs. Samuel J. Shively, wife of County Attorney Shively at Grace hospital in Kansas City during Tuesday night. Friends knew that Mrs. Shively had been taking treatments for an ulcerated tooth but the blood poisoning, which caused her death, did not become evident until shortly before death. Nearly two weeks ago she went to Kansas City to have a tooth pulled by a dentist who was a specialist and a friend of her family. When the tooth was pulled he told her that it was infected and advised her to see a physician. She went to Grace hospital where she remained for three days and her face was treated. It was thought she would be all right in a few days and she chose to go to the home of a close friend, Miss Winifred Wilcox, secretary to Mayor Cromwell, where she remained until last Saturday. Because the healing had not been satisfactory she returned to the hospital where her gums were lanced and as much as possible of the poison drained. She wanted to come down home to convalesce but seemed strangely weak and by Sunday her condition seemed much worse and it became evident that blood poisoning was developing. It was thought that it could be checked until Monday night when Mr. Shively, who had been visiting her every other day, was sent for and he was with her until she died the next night.
Mrs. Shively’s maiden name was Ada Bennett and she was born Aug. 21, 1879, at Aubray, in Johnson county, now known as Stilwell. She was the daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Robert S. Bennett. Later the family moved to the western part of Missouri where Dr. Bennett continued to practice medicine. When Mrs. Shively and her brother were ready for school they moved to Kansas City where she lived for the greater part of her life. She attended Central High school and later took up the study of music and for a number of years was instructor of piano in Kansas City.
She was married to Mr. Shively in May, 1922 and since that time has lived in Paola.
During the past year they have built a charming little home which she designed and planned herself to the last complete detail. It is as clever and attractive a home as one might find and filled with the artistic handiwork of her fingers.
Mrs. Shively was an unusually intelligent capable woman and besides taking care of her home duties she has been working as stenographer and assistant in her husband's office. She won the respect and friendship of those with whom she had come in contact both in a business and social way.
Beside her husband, she is survived by her mother, Mrs. Nancy Bennett and one brother. Edgar P. Bennett, both of Osawatomie.
Funeral services were held at the Methodist church on Thursday afternoon conducted by Rev. C. M. Williams. Members of the Miami county bar and county officials attended in a body. Burial was in the Paola cemetery.
Beside her mother and brother the following from out of town were here for the funeral: Mrs. Eva Floyd, of Fredonia, only sister of Mr. Shively; Mrs. Cuba Van Zandt and Mrs. Hilda Moore, of Kansas City, niece and grandniece of Mr. Shively; Miss Winifred Wilcox, Mrs. Walton G. Lockman and Mrs. Jennie Lockman, all of Kansas City. There were also a number of other Kansas City people who drove down to attend the funeral.
