Shively, Jr., A Popular Camden Instructor, Succumbed To Consumption Just Two Months
After Taking A Mount Holly Bride - Profesor C. Martin Shively, Jr., aged 26 years,
instructor in Greek and mathematics at the Camden High School and one of the most
popular of the school faculty, died at his home, at 433 Stevens street, Thursday night
from hasty consumption, which developed after an attack of typhoid pneumonia. The
circumstances surrounding the death of Professor Shively are peculiarly sad. Just two
months ago yesterday, with a promising career before him, he married Miss Helen Kehm,
an estimable young woman of Mt. Holly. They were enjoying their honeymoon when
Professor Shively was suddenly stricken with typhoid pneumonia. The bride at once
turned a willing faithful nurse, being constantly at the bedside of her stricken
husband. Despite her care and tender nursing, the bridegroom grew worse and
consumption developed. Two weeks ago hope was abandoned, but the bride of so short
a period continued her vigil night and day. Mrs. Shively is now prostrated. Professor
Shively was a native of Easton, Pa. He was graduated from Lafayette College in 1900
with high honors. Almost immediately he was called to the Mt. Holly Academy, where he
did such excellent work that the Camden Board of Education elected him to a
professorship in the High School about two years ago. The dead instructor was very
popular with the boys, entering into their sports and assisting in training them in general
athletics. His untimely death has created a feeling of genuine sadness among the entire
student body and faculty of the school. The funeral will take place Monday.

shook their heads and said he was too young. Like many others have done before, he
went to Jeffersonville, but the license man had no blank certificates, and a night's delay
was necessary. Yesterday morning the young man went over to Charlestown, where he
procured the necessary papers and returned on the next train. Then he took his divinity
over to Jeffersonville, and soon the agony was over. The young couple returned late in
the evening, and were happily quartered at their hotel last night. To-day they will go back
to their angry but anxious mammas and papas, to receive their “ber-less you, my
children.”

is willing to give advice to young men. Both were arraigned in district court Monday
charged with living together, although unmarried.
Mrs, Van der Stelt and Shively will be tried Wednesday. They are held in bonds of
$200 each. The advice the woman offers to young girls is this: "Do not marry a sister's
husband, to not elope with another man if you are married and, what ever you do, keep
mum."
She said that she married her dead sister's husband because she was sorry for
him and for his three small children. She now has two children of her own, but she said
that life was not happy with her husband and she had to work to help support the five
children, so six weeks ago she ran away with Shively.
They came to a rooming house at 559 Milwaukee st. Sunday she could no longer
keep her secret and confided to the landlady that she was not married to Shively. The
landlady told police.
The man in the case advises all young men to avoid married women.
