Son of Alexander Shives and Fedelia Arnold, Kilgour Shives was born in Fredericton, March 12, 1857. He married Miss Minnie/Maria Mills, daughter of the late William Mills of St. John, N.B. After living in Saint John, owning a mill in Dunsinane, Sussex, NB., he moved to Campbellton and operated a mill on the waterfront and later another in Atholville, then called Shives Athol. Kilgour's son Reginald Shives had a daughter Mary who married Rod Craig and her son and daughter-in-law inherited all the old photos that was in the Shives family. They are in the process of scanning these photos and sharing them with us. Looking at a few of those photos it is not clear as to where they were taken. Mr. Shives having been implicated in a few other mills and his brother Arnold being an amateur photographer, who seemed to love the sport, have left quite a few old photos behind for us to try to identify. I'll post a few of those great old photos here, in case someone can identify them, thanking David and Patti for being so kind as to sharing. Something not enough people do these days.

 This looks like it could have been taken in the Shives Company Store ? Does anyone remember who worked in that store ? Was there one in Campbellton? one in Atholville also? Who could have been the people in this one? |
 Here is a close-up of the people in the Company Store photo to the left. |

 This looks like it may be the cookhouse at the Shives Mill in Athol. The hills in the background look right, but the church steeple over the back of the horse on the left I can't identify. In some of the history of Athol it says that there was a church built on land leased by Mr. Shives early in 1900, and it says another church was built in 1925. Does anyone know where the first church was built? In the Flats? near the mill? Or is this in Athol at all? |
 No idea who or where.. one of the Shives boys maybe on the wagon? |

 This is also a photo that was in Kilgour's album but I can't identify where it was taken? Any idea anyone? |

 Robert Kilgour Shives was a member of the Royal Flying Corps died of a gun accident on Sept. 29, 1916. This seems to be a photo of his Flying Class? Do you know of anyone who was in WW1 in that class? in the RFC? |
