These recordsare the pension applicationsfor the veteranswho Certificates served in ihe Navy. Included in these records is the applicationfor Dr. Joseph Warren Shively. The recordswithin this applicationare a wonderful history source for the genealogistworking on this Shivelyline. Dr. JosephWarren Shivelyenlistedin the Navy on Januaryts, 1861 and was discharged on March 18, 1865. He held the rank as surgeon ranking with Lieutenantand was stationedin Cairo,lllinois. His originalpensionwas issuedas $12.50from October31, 1885. On May 25, 1889 this amount was increased to $18.75. The justificationsfor the pension were listed as disease of the heart and nervous system. Reasons listed on the applicationfor the pension included rheumatism, pain in right shoulder, affliction of the heart and bladder and general neurosis. Included in the pension informationis a copy of the marriage certificatefor Joseph W. Shivelyand Amelia L. Kent. They were marriedin CuyahogaGounty,Ohio on October5, 1863. Also included in the pension information is a death certificate from the District of Columbiafor Joseph Shively. The date of death is listed as February 14, 1897 at the age of 63 years. lt states he was born in Columbiana County, Ohio. He was buried in Kent, Portage County,Ohio. extractedfrom the application: Followingin part of the information I am the claimant& base my claims for a pension on the followinggrounds. When I entered the U.S. Naval Service in '1863I was a healthy man as the act of the Medical Board which passed & upon my professional physicalfitnesswill attest & when I left in 1865 I was broken in health as which the Medical Survey held upon me a few month previouslywill show. After my resignation was chiefly due to ill health I resided for one year at Massillon,Ohio, my former home. I then irregularity other abnormalsymptomsof the heart. I was afflictedwith & sufferedfrom palpitation, frequently recurringcarbuncles & boils. I suffered from a wearing pain in my right scapula & shoutder. I also had frequent attacks of bladder irritation. These symptoms have followed & seernsto exist clung to me ever since. Sometimesbetter,sometimesworse. A close correlation between them. Of late years, say four or five, my heart has been better but my shoulder & bladder are getting worse. The trouble in my shoulder consists of pain, numbness,& loss of power & motion of the muscles attachedto the scabula & supper arm. I have no rhumatismin these parts of the body. The bladder trouble consists in frequency of micturationwith pain & distressand atony of that organ. The urine is sometimesloadedwith the urates & phosphates& sometimesperfectlynormal. I have found both sugar & albumen in it. For about ten years after E, movingto my presentresidence, I, from 1866 to 1875 lwas engagedin the drug business, thinking my health was better suited to it, then home country practice. Since 1875 | have been engaged in the practiceof medicinedoing an office village practicechiefly but whether practicing my professionor otherwiseemployed I have been fearfullyhandicappedby my infirmitiesin the race for success. During the first ten years after my resignation,I depended mainly for medical advice & treatmentupon my former preceptor& friend Dr. A. Metz of MassillonO. now deceased who were he alive now might ( ) testifyto my continuedill health after leavingthe Navy & to my good health prior to entering it. I have also consultedmy medical colleaguesof this place (Drs. Sawyer, Sherman & Price). I have been largely guided by their advice & suggestions.
