Rough location recap as photographer:
1880 to 1889 – Decatur, IL
1890 to 1891 – Spokane Falls, WA
1894 to 1895 – Missoula, IL
1896 to 1905 – Butte, MT
1906 to 1919 – Spokane Falls, WA
After this period it is doubtful that Shively was involved in the photograph business. Also some of these periods will overlap when he operated more than one gallery at a time.
