THOMAS H. SHREVE,
Like his poet-editor friend, George D. Prentice, whose assistant and
associate he wat at the time of his death, was not a native of Kentucky,
but settled in Louisville in 1838, when 30 years old, and died there, Dec.
23, 1853, aged 45.  He was raised a merchant; but while following that
life, gave free scope to his literary taste; contributed many excellent
articles to the periodicals and daily press; and finally abandoned
mercantile life, and became one of the editors of the Louisville Journal. 
Prentice said that Shreve "could write with extraordinary vehemence,
eloquence, and pathos."  His poetry scaracely had the fire, and life, and
freshness of his best prose writings.  He excelled as an amateur artist,
iin portraits, landscapes, and paintings in animal life. [Note: Included
was his poem "Reflections Of An Aged Pioneer."]
