| Arizona Republican, Phoenix, Arizona Thursday, February 7, 1901 David W. Shivers died at his home in Chino Valley on the night of February 3, 1901 in his 75th year. Mr. Shivers was one of the early pioneers of Arizona, having come here with his family in March 1867. He located in the Chino Valley, twenty one miles north of Prescott and engaged in farming and cattle raising. He leaves three daughters and one son to mourn his death: Mrs. J.L. Fisher of Prescott, Mrs. R.E. Farington of Phoenix, Mrs. Frances Forsee of Tempe and John T. Shivers with whom he made his home. Mr. Shivers was born and raised in Missouri, therefore was a life long pioneer of the west, as even his ancestors before him were pioneers of Tennessee. His grandfathers both fought in the war of the revolution under Washington and his own father fought through the war of 1812. Mr. Shivers was made fit by precept and education for the trials and difficulties of a life such as always confronts the pioneer of any new county. God's blessings on the Arizona pioneers for they are fast gathering home-- crossing the river, one by one. See Also: Arizona Gravestone Photo Project |
