SHIELDS had been a sufferer from some brain disorder which kept him confined to his home and much of the time to his room. From the beginning of the trouble he gradually grew weaker until Sunday evening when he quietly died while sleeping. Dr. A. M. Shields, son of Mr. & Mrs. Jesse SHIELDS, was born near Rochester, 42 years and 7 months ago. He was given a thorough education in the Rochester schools, Earlham, and DePauw colleges, the State University, and the Ohio Medical college. He was a sturdy man even in his boyhood, and nobody ever had any doubt where he stood on any question. He practiced medicine for nearly twenty years and held several responsible positions in his profession. He married Miss Lizzie MILLER, of Hamilton, Ohio, in 1882 and she proved to him a noble and devoted wife and a popular and useful christian lady. Few, indeed, would have undergone the long ordeal of administering to one in the condition the deceased's mind was in but the wife and the father kept him with them and cared for him to the last. Dr. Shields was not officious or aggressive. He was a plain man of kindly disposition and retiring habits and a gentleman in the broadest sense of the term. The funeral services were held at the family residence, Tuesday evening, when Rev. WELTMER delivered an eloquent eulogy, a select choir chanted a sweet requiem to the silent rest and a large cortege followed the remains to their resting place in Citizens cemetery.
