way brought again under his consideration. Meeting with a very intelligent homeopathic physician, and receiving satisfactory answers to the many inquiries which he made of this gentleman, Dr. Lefever began to experiment as well as to read carefully on the subject. Preparing some medicines he treated several cases, as he then supposed homeopathically, but found afterwards that he had only made an approach to that practice; yet he ob- tained results which led to further experi- ment with growing light on the subject and strengthening convictions, until, actually against his inclination, he became fully con- vinced of the truth of homoeopathy, and wholly discarded allopathie drugs. The longer he is engaged in homeopathie prac- tice, the stronger is his conviction that it is the true method of treating diseases.
In the spring of 1869 he left New Bloom- field for Mechanicsburg, Cumberland county, from which place, in November, 1872, he re- moved to Harrisburg, Pa., where he died October 20, 1893, and his remains were in- terred in the cemetery at New Bloomfield, Perry county, Pa.

SHIVE, EDWARD L., engineer Northern Central, Summit Branch railroad, was born in Lykens Valley, June 11, 1835. John Shive, his father, was born in Lykens Val- ley in 1801. His trade was weaving, but he also did butchering and other kinds of work. In later years he was lock tender on the canal. He married Sarah Wert, born in Lykens Valley. They had six children : Alfred, restaurant keeper, at Williamsburg, Pa .; Caroline, deceased, wife of Joseph Mil- ler, of Powell's Valley ; Edward L .; Eman- uel, deceased ; Rachel, died young ; Lizzie J., wife of Andrew Pressley, both deceased. Mr. Shive was a Democrat. He died in Mid- dle Paxton township in 1851. His wife died at the same place in the same year.
Edward L. Shive attended school at Mil- lersburg, and began work when he was quite young. At fifteen years of age he be- came collector of tolls for the Clark's Ferry Bridge Company, and held the place three years.

In 1859 he became brakeman, then fireman, and in 1865 he was promoted to engineer. Mr. Shive has run on the same road for over thirty years, during which time he has made the remarkable and honorable, as well as enviable, reputation of having had no accident to any train drawn by his en- gine, a record perhaps unparalleled in the history of railroad engineers. Such skill and fidelity, such courage and devotion, such patience and painstaking, such sleep- less vigilance and cool-headed judgment as have enabled him to make this record of successful work, have won for him the ut- most confidence of the company and created for him a claim on the respect and gratitude of the traveling public. All honor to the . theran church. man who has had thousands of human lives and millions of property entrusted to him in transit, and who steps down from his cab with not a cent's worth of loss or damage to his charge and no stain of blood on his con- science. If there be a true legion of honor among men he has in his record a free pass- port to its highest ranks.
Edward L. Shive was married, in Harris- burg, October 11, 1858, to Mary J. Weaver, born in Millersburg, August 7, 1842. They have five children : Sarah A., unmarried ; Katie E., widow of Joseph Klinger; Susan
R., wife of J. P. Heckard; Ella, in Harris- burg, and John A., died in infancy. Mr. Shive is a Republican. He is a member of Perseverance Lodge, No. 133, 1. O. O. F., at Millersburg, and was a member of the Order of Rebecca. He is one of the largest donors to the Zion Lutheran church, of which he is a member, and in which he has been Sun day-school teacher and superintendent. He was a member of the church council at Will- iamstown. His children are all church members and workers in the Sunday-school.
Martin Weaver, father of Mrs. Shive, was born in the State of Pennsylvania in 1811. He was a machinist and worked at Potts- ville, Pittsburgh, and Millersburg. He was killed at a railroad crossing near Millersburg, July 30, 1878. He was married, in 1841, to Elizabeth Keefer, born in Hanover township, Dauphin county, in 1820. They had six children : Reuben, deceased ; Charles, of Lancaster county ; Mary J., Mrs. Shive: Elizabeth, wife of H. Joury, a railroad man ; William Miller, at Millersburg, and Nathan, distiller. Mrs. Weaver finds a pleasant home with her daughter, Mrs. Shive.
Joseph P. Heckart, son-in-law of Mr. Shive, was born in Lloydsville, Perry county, Pa., November 19, 1863; son of Joseph and Sarah (Grimm) Heckart, and one of four children. He was educated in the schools of White Hill, Cumberland county. When a young man he came to Lykens and obtained a posi- tion as clerk with William Bergstresser, with whom he has remained since that time, he- ing foreman in the general mercantile busi- ness. Joseph Heckart was married, in Ly- kens, April 6, 1884, to Susan R., daughter of Edward L. Shive. They have two children, Zenie, born September 25, 1886, and Clyde S., born June 11, 1890.
