 FOR
ASSESSOR Robert M. Shirley Well Worthy of the Honors of His Party.
In their candidate for county assessor, the Republicans have
a young man who is personally worthy of the nomination and who
also will prove to be a most competent official by reason of
his natural inclinations, he delighting in careful, painstaking
work which the office requires and he also always being moved
by a high sense of honor. Robert M. Shirley was born on a farm
west of Belleville Oct. 16, 1868. His boyhood was like that of
the average youth, farm work and school alternating with the
seasons. He suffered the loss of a good mother at the age of
six and was compelled to struggle on without her good counsel.
In due time he completed the common schools at Cartersburg and
in the fall of 1889, he began teaching in Guilford township.
With the exception of two winters he taught continuously in the
schools of the county until the present winter, supplementing
his education by attending the Central Normal College. His services
in his profession were always in demand as he entered enthusiastically
upon his work. Some years ago his wife died, leaving two little
boys and to these boys, Mr. Shirley has devoted his life, caring
for them with a devotion that has won the sympathetic praise
of countless people. As a citizen, as a Republican, Mr. Shirley's
life is above reproach and he richly deserves to be a leader
on the county ticket next Tuesday. The Republican (Danville,
Indiana)--issue of Thursday, November 3, 1910--page 1, column

One of the most prosperous business men of Danville, Indiana,
is Edgar W. Shirley, the son of John M. and Susan (Hale) Shirley,
who was born February lo, 1860, in Pittsboro, in this county.
His father was also a native of Hendricks county, his birth having
occurred three miles southwest of Brownsburg on June 15, 1835.
His mother was born about one and one-half miles southwest of
Pittsboro. James W. Shirley, the grandfather of Edgar W., was
born in 1803, in Kentucky, and came to Hendricks county, Indiana,
in 1830, or before, settling on Big creek, where he lived until
his death, which occurred in 1893. James W. Shirley married Deborah
Pressley, and they reared a family of eight children, the father
of Edgar W. being the third in order of birth. John Shirley spent
his whole life in the county of his birth. In October, 1852,
he removed to Pittsboro, where he lived until 1873, being engaged
in the mercantile business in that place. He continued in this
business until July 29, 1873, at which time he came to Danville
and took charge of the mercantile establishment which he had
bought some years before in that place. He continued in active
business until his death, which occurred October 14, 1913, and
was one of the wealthiest and most successful business men who
have ever lived in this county. He was married January 11, 1857,
to Susan Hale, and to this union there were born two children,
William J., who died in 1899, and Edgar W., the immediate subject
of this sketch. John Shirley was a member of the Christian church
and for many years was a trustee of that denomination. He was
trustee of Middle township for several terms and was postmaster
of Pittsboro for a number of years. After moving to Danville
he held the office of trustee of Center township for two terms.
He was a large landowner in Hendricks county, and one of its
most solid and substantial citizens at the time of his death.

4(i). William J Shirley he died 1899
4(ii). Edgar W. Shirley
Edgar W. Shirley was educated in the public schools of
Pittsboro, concluded the common school courses in that town,
and attended Butler University, Indianapolis. Immediately after
the termination of his college course, he entered the store of
his father in Danville, and has remained there continuously since
that time. Upon his father's death in 1913, he succeeded him
in the business firm of Shirley & Showalter. This firm has
by its courteous treatment of its customers and strict integrity
in all their business dealings, not only gained the confidence
of the people, but have built up a large and profitable business,
being numbered among the enterprising and progressive business
houses of this city. Mr. Shirley was married in 1908 to Bernice
(Burk) Kendall, of Danville. Industry and probity have been the
chief factors of Mr. Shirley's steady advance in business affairs
and his position in the world is such as to reflect high credit
upon himself and to add to the reputation of Danville as an important
business center. In addition to his interests in the mercantile
business, Mr. Shirley has large real estate holdings in the county.
Fraternally, he is a member of the order of Free and Accepted
Masons, having taken all the degrees, including the thirty-second.
In his politics, he has been affiliated with the Republican party,
although he has never held any office. At the same time he takes
an active interest in the political issues of the day. He helps
all public enterprises and when the new Christian church was
started in Danville he donated three thousand five hundred dollars
to its erection. By the exercise of sound business principles
and by being energetic at all times Mr. Shirley has forged to
the front and is today one of the most deserving business men
of the county, where he is held in high esteem by all classes
because of his honesty of purpose, his industry, courteous manner
and public spirit. - History of Hendricks County Indiana

1067 - Francis M. Shirley, farmer and merchant, of Lincoln Township,
Hendricks County, Ind., was born June 21, 1842, on the homestead
on which he still resides, and is a son of James and Deborah
(Presley) Shirley. The father was born in Bourbon County, Ky.,
was among the first settlers of Lincoln Township, Hendricks County,
and is now making his residence with his son, the subject of
this sketch. To Mr. and Mrs. James Shirley were born eight children,
six of whom were reared to maturity and were named Robert, Rebecca,
John, Louisa, Francis M. and George G.; the remaining two died
in infancy. Francis M. Shirley received a very fair education
in the local public school, and in 1860 he and his brother, George
W., engaged in the mercantile business at Lizton, which they
conducted together with profit for six years, when Francis M.
returned to farming, and has since resided on his neat place
of 120 acres. He is connected, however, with his father in the
hardware business at Brownsburg, under the firm name of Shirley
& Son, and this house is now doing a prosperous trade. In
politics Mr. Shirley is a Democrat, and in religion he is Methodist,
belonging to the M.E. congregation of Brownsburg. He is happily
united in wedlock with Emily, daughter of Lawrence Leak, of Hendricks
County, and to this union have been born the following children:

Indiana Magazine of History, "The Plague of New Elizabeth"
- ".... George Shirley was a storekeeper and former trustee
of Union Township. He naturally was one of the town's more prosperous
citizens, and if New Elizabeth had had a social register, his
eighteen year old wife, the former Mollie Wilkinson, who was
reared between Danville and New Elizabeth, surely would have
been listed near the top. George and Mollie were married Feb
5 1873. Being Baptists she and her husband had a good excuse
to leave New Elizabeth to attend the Baptist Association's Sunday
meeting at Abner's Creek a short distance north of Danville.
They went to Danville on Saturday, Sept 6th and stayed at the
fine home of George's brother, John Shirley. The ride out to
Abner's Creek and back on Sunday was a happy one. New Elizabeth
had become a dreary place to live. The Shirleys stayed Sunday
night in Danville where the young woman became ill. Danville's
best physicians, including Dr. W.J. Hoadley, who was George and
John Shirley's brother-in-law, and Dr. Lockhart, watched her
until she died early Monday afternoon. According to the doctors,
Mrs. Shirley had a "pretty fair case of cholera," she
had brought from New Elizabeth. While the physicians could do
nothing for her, they undoubtedly did all they could to make
certain that cholera did not spread to other members of the family
or to Danville residents. Mollie Shirley was buried in the graveyard
at Abner's Creek--probably at night. She and Dr. Dicks were the
only victims of New Elizabeth's epidemic not laid to rest in
Vieleys's cemetery.

- Samuel served in the Union forces of the Civil War and
was discharged from the Army on May 15,1865. While fighting,
he contracted measles and other afflictions. Samuel had respiratory
problems as a result of his Civil War experiences and his difficulty
in breathing at night forced him to sleep outside year-around
while his family slept in a rented house during the winters.
The need for the rented house is what kept them in one place
during the winter. It's been said they wandered far an wide during
the summer going north to Iowa. The wagon was always Samuel's
bedroom. While living in Mercer County, Samuel wintered in Warsaw
MO. It was here his eldest son, William Riley, clerked in a store
for several years during their periodic stays in order to earn
money to keep the family in food. William also won several purses
in local boxing and wrestling matches. A grandchild of William's,
Truman Swingle, who lives in Kirksville MO was a Golden Gloves
competitor before he entered WWII.
