    Notes:

    Died In His 60th Year
    John Shields died Friday, April 17, 1925, at his home, 207 North Pearl street, Paola, in his 60th year, following an illness of about four years with anemia. Last summer, Mrs. Shields had a severe attack and his condition was considered serious at that time, however, he gained strength and was apparently better until about four weeks ago when he took the influenza and his body was in too weakened a condition to resist the malady. Born in Mediapolis, Iowa, December 23, 1864, he moved to Lincoln, Nebraska in 1886, and in 1893 moved to Indian Territory. On January 24th, 1894, he was married to Mary Elizabeth Law, at Lincoln, Nebraska, and they lived in the Territory for thirteen years. Later the family came to Miami county in 1906 and settled in Richland township where they lived for six years and then moved to West Valley township, where they lived until February, 1924, at which time they moved to Paola.
    Mr. Shields is survived by his wife and five children – Velma, wife of George Dean, lived in Chicago, Illinois; Reamer L. Shields, of San Francisco, California; Byron Shields, on the home place in West Valley township; Elwood and Dorothy at home. He also leaves four sisters, Mrs. Jas. Tull, Arapahoe, Nebraska; Mrs. J.L. Kirkhart, of Lucian, Oklahoma; Mrs. Jennie Watson, Lucian, Oklahoma; Mrs. Elizabeth Woodside, Denver, Colo. and one brother, William Shields, of Perry, Oklahoma. Reamer, the son in San Francisco, was unable to attend the funeral as he was in a hospital where he had undergone an operation for appendicitis.
    Funeral services were held Sunday afternoon at 2:30 from the Presbyterian church, conducted by Rev. Daniels and interment was in the Paola cemetery.
    To the world generally Mr. Shields was a man of high worth, but only to close friends was his true greatness known. The good wife, and the rest of the family, knew his excellence, of course, and so did those outside, who had the opportunity to know him intimately. With his hands he earned ground, and with his hands he made it a home; he married, reared children and gave them schooling, so that to-day they honor their parents, and brighten the name. Not much to do? Yes, more than the victor who taketh a city, more than the conqueror who enslaves and impoverishes, more than the rich who grind the poor. John Shields was an average American, the highest type to-day of the world’s manhood. – The Westenr Spirit. (Paola, Kansas).
