John William Shuey, son of Jacob and Elizabeth Shuey, was born in Roanoke county, Va.,
October 6, 1836, and departed this life July 7, 1912, aged 75 years and 9 months. He was
one of a family of sixteen children, all but three having departed this life, two sisters
in Stewartsville, Mo., and one sister in Iola, Kan., surviving.
Mr. Shuey was united in marriage to Susan C. Smith December 7, 1864. To this union were
born five children, Minnie M Godbout of Crookston, Minn., Laura A. Shuey, Jamestown, Chas.
L., Crawfordsville, and William T. of Indianapolis, surviving; James M. having died in
infancy.
At an early age he moved with his parents to Pittsburg, Mo., where he remained until the
beginning of the Civil War. Later he came to Ladoga, and while there united with the
Lutheran church, afterward becoming converted to the Christian church, at New Winchester,
Ind. For the last thirty- seven years he was a member of Fountain Christian church, near
Ladoga.
Mr. Shuey was one who highly appreciated the kindness of neighbors and friends, and was a
man held in high esteem in his neighborhood.
