General Notes: Husband - Joseph F. Shiever


He grew up a farm boy and attended the Franklin Township schools through boyhood and later enjoyed a course at the Slippery Rock State Normal School. For three winter terms he taught school in Lancaster Township, Butler County, Pennsylvania, and was considered an excellent teacher, but he wished to become neither a farmer nor a school-teacher, his inclinations leading him in the direction of a business or commercial career. In 1901 he entered into partnership with Mr. Bolton, in a mercantile business at Slippery Rock, the firm name being Bolton & Shiever, which continued until the autumn of 1903, when Mr. Shiever became manager for the mercantile department of the Coal and Limestone Company, at Redmond, Pennsylvania, where he remained until he came to Bruin, and in 1904 became associated with Mr. Sproull, in merchandising, under the firm style of Sproull & Shiever.
Mr. Shiever was one of the organizers of the First National Bank at Bruin, which was incorporated October 15, 1907, and opened for business on January 14, 1908, Mr. Shiever being elected its first president and he was also one of the board of directors.
He belonged to the Butler County Merchants' Mutual Insurance Company, in which he was a director.
He and his wife were members of the First Presbyterian Church of Bruin. In his political views he was a Republican.
