Their first two children, Minerva and Wesley, were born in that city. In 1867 they moved to Dayton, Ohio where their youngest daughter, Josephine was born. They came to Adair county, Iowa in 1875 and since that time he has lived in this community first on the farm and later in town. Mrs. Shirey died Oct. 3, 1902 and since then Mr. Shirey has lived in the home of his youngest daughter, Josie, wife of Postmaster Harry Carver. Sustained by a remarkable physical vitality, Mr. Shirey was a tireless worker until within the last few years and kept busy in various gardens about town as well as at other work. For many years he attended the services of the Congregational church, usually the first to be found in his seat there. He was a loyal member of the Odd Fellow and Rebekah lodges, the members of which societies followed their aged brother to his last resting place, bringing their tokens of faith, love and truth. Only a few days ago it became apparent that the clock of life was speedily running down. Nevertheless his end came surprisingly quick. He fell painlessly asleep at the ripe old age of 91 years, 5 months and 26 days. He is survived by his three children and their families, Mrs. Frank Howard of Pawnee City, Neb.; Welsey Taylor of Portland, Ore., and Mrs. Harry Carver of Fontanelle. Also five grandchildren in Nebraska, Oregon and Montana. Funeral services were held int he Congregational church Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock and were conducted by Rev. O.W. Lauxmann. Interment was in the Fontanelle cemetery.
