Burial*He was buried in Hampshire, England; Buried in the North Sea. Is memorialized at Hollybrook Memorial Cemetery. A headstone is also placed in Uxbridge Cemetery, Ontario County.
Fact 1Lucy Maud Montgomery, the author of Anne of Green Gables, was a family friend and dedicated her book, Rainbow Valley, to Morley Roy Shier as well as two other local soldiers who lost their lives in WW I.
Fact 1On October 3, 1911, Montgomery as Mrs. Ewan MacDonald was introduced as the minister’s new wife and honoured with a reception dinner at St. Paul’s Presbyterian Church. Three of the families she met that evening – The Shiers, the Brookses and the Lapps – would never have expected to be mentioned in her books. Catherine* and James Shier’s farm was located a few acres away from the Leaskdale Church. They had three children in 1911: Mabel was nineteen; Morley, sixteen, was a student at Uxbridge High School; and Harvey was nine.

The sons [of the three families] would have known the MacDonald’s for only a few years, but their families and relations became friends especially the younger siblings because they grew up during the fourteen years that Montgomery created and directed the Young People’s Association.

Morley Roy Shier knew “Mrs. Mac” for about two years before he left to attend the University of Toronto’s teacher-preparation program. Bob Brooks was in Ewan’s congregation for about 6 years before he enlisted. Gordie Lapp was at home foe only a year before leaving to work and study pharmacy. They joined three different military units at different times between 1915 and 1917. These three young men represent the sacrifices that small communities all over Canada invested in the world conflict. Montgomery planned, wrote and revised Rainbow Valley during the final years of the war, from 1917 to 1918. Montgomery penned the dedication to the pilot Morley Shier and the two soldiers Bob Brookes and Gordie Lapp, when she finished the Rainbow Valley manuscript in late December 1918, three months after the death of the last casualty, Flight Lieutenant Shier.

Several Shier family members were Montgomery’s friends, including Morley’s cousin, Mary Shier McLeod. Readers of Montgomery’s journals will recall Morley’s uncle, Dr. Walter Columbus Shier, who was a physician in Leaskdale and Uxbridge. Dr. Shier attended the MacDonald family and was the first doctor to treat Ewan’s depression. Another uncle was Rob Shier** who lived in Zephyr; his third wife was Lillis Harrison (Lily Reid), Montgomery’s household helper from 1912 to 1915 and a trusted friend throughout Montgomery’s life.

Morley was a teacher first at Corson’s Siding, northeast of Leaskdale and then at Earl Grey School in Toronto. Shortly after Montgomery began work on Rainbow Valley, Morley stared pilot training. He went to England in May 1918, after basic flight training, to learn combat and reconnaissance skills at the British advanced flying schools. He was assigned to the 256th Royal Air force Squadron formed in June 1918 at Seahouses, Northumberland. The squadron did coastal surveillance for German submarines and flew two-seater Canadian built de Havilland DH-6 planes, with a range of about four hours of flight. One of the many nicknames for the DH-6 was “the Flying Coffin”.

Shier became an active RFC pilot in June 1918 at the age of twenty-three. About one-quarter of the RFC squadron crews were Canadian. Most RFC combat pilots survived an average of about three weeks once they began their combat flights. Although reconnaissance pilots were not exposed to enemy fire as often as combat pilots, the risk to them was still significant; they were not armed but could carry bombs, and parachutes were not allowed because they were too heavy.

After two months of flying, Flight Lieutenant Shier and his plane went down in the fog in the North Sea on Sept 6, 1918 about twenty miles from shore. Montgomery did not hear of Morley’s death until a month later, three days before Germany and Austria agreed to peace in October 1918.Shier’s name is on the Hollybrook Memorial in Southampton, England, erected by the Imperial Ware Graves Commission with the names of those lost at sea. Members of the Shier family placed a marker in the cemetery at Leaskdale and a plaque in the church to honour him at home.

Fact 1On July, 25, 2017, the Royal Canadian Air Force featured Morley Roy Shier in their Profile of Courage series

By Major Bill March
Born in Scott Township, near Leaskdale, Ontario, on December 4, 1894, Morley Roy Shier attended school in Leaskdale and Uxbridge before embarking on a career as a teacher. He had accepted a position at the Earl Grey School in Toronto when he made the decision to enlist, and on November 15, 1917, he joined the Royal Flying Corps. 
After completing his training at various Royal Flying Corps (Canada) establishments in Canada and the United States, Second Lieutenant Shier was commissioned as a pilot in the newly formed Royal Air Force (RAF) in April 1918. A month later, he was in England, where he would spend the next few months completing his advanced training. In July, he was posted to No. 256 Squadron and stationed at the village of Seahouses on the Northumberland coast in northeast of England.
The squadron operated two-seater Airco DeHavilland 6 (DH6) aircraft in coastal and anti-submarine patrol roles. Underpowered, the DH6 could not accommodate both bombs and an observer, so patrols were often flown solo by the pilot, thus permitting a small weapons load to be carried. 
On September 6, 1918, a relatively foggy day, Flight Lieutenant Shier took off in DH6 C5172 on a North Sea patrol. For reasons unknown, the aircraft ditched in the sea about 32 kilometres (20 miles) offshore. His body was never located and he was presumed to have drowned.
News of his death did not become general knowledge back home until October. Family friend and writer, Lucy Maud Montgomery, author of Anne of Green Gables, noted in her diary that “On Tuesday came word of the death of Morley Shier, a fine young fellow from our church… .” In January 1919, she dedicated her latest novel, Rainbow Valley, to the three members of her community who were killed in the war. The inscription reads, “To the memory of Goldwin Lapp, Robert Brookes and Morley Shier, who made the supreme sacrifice that the happy valleys of their home might be kept sacred from the ravage of the invader.”
Because his body was never recovered, Flight Lieutenant Shier is commemorated on the Hollybrook Memorial in Hampshire, England. He was 23.

Death*He died on 30 June 2012 in Denver, Colorado, United States; SHIER, NOEL JACOB With heavy hearts we say goodbye to Noel Jacob Shier. He died on June 30, 2012 in Denver, Colorado. At the age of 23, Noel's life would seem too short to many, but those who were touched by him understood that the quality of existence far exceeds the quantity of time in which one lives. He was always entertaining, always inspiring, and always down for an adventure. Noel loved being outdoors and was passionate about skateboarding, which in fact was his primary method of transportation. Noel never met a board he couldn't master, be it a skate, snow or audio board. Noel was pursuing his Bachelor of Arts degree in Audio Production while attending the Art Institute of Colorado. Noel's humor and contagious smile will be missed! Noel is survived by his loving parents Ed and Jan Shier, his brother Sean Shier, his sisters Elise (Jon) Parks, Emily (Joe) Wysmierski, his love Sarah Mason, his grandparents Charles and Mary Jane Shier, and many more relatives and friends. He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Joseph and Cleo Jesse. A Memorial Gathering is planned for 7:30 p.m. on July 17, 2012 at North Shore Park, 18775 North Shore Drive, Ferrysburg, MI 49409. Family and friends are invited to attend to share their memories and celebrate Noel's life. A Memorial Fund (Account Number:3036517828) has been set up at Chase Bank with the goal to fund a Skate Boarding Park as skate boarding was one of Noel's greatest passions.

Married Name As of 4 October 1939,her married name was Lehne. 
Marriage*Norma Evelyn Shier married Reinhard Bernard Lehne, son of Andrew Lehne, on 4 October 1939. 
Death*Norma Evelyn Shier died on 24 January 2011 at age 90; Norma Evelyn (Shier) Lehne was born in Carnduff, SK on August 8, 1920 to parents John and Eliza Shier. She was the third child in a family of fifteen and also the oldest girl. She attended Florence School #127 and received a Grade 7 education which was considered good in those days. Norma was her mother?s right hand. With a family of fifteen she was like the hired girl, helping with all the household chores as well as looking after her siblings. In 1931 Norma moved with her family to the Pahanan District near Kinistino. Due to depression years and sand and dust storms they needed a new source of income, so her dad started a blacksmith shop. It was here where she met and married her lifelong partner Reinhard Lehne on October 4, 1939 in Weldon, SK. Their entertainment in those days consisted of listening to music, dancing and visiting with their friends and neighbours. In 1946 Norman & Reinhard bought land and moved north of Love where his brother already lived. Here they raised a family of five children: Clarence, Darlene, Evelyn, Gordon and Fay. Times were hard and Reinhard worked off the farm a lot. This left Norma to shoulder the load at home of which she never complained. In 1956 they moved to Nipawin where work was more accessible and they also had three children attending school now. Norma helped supplement their income with various housecleaning jobs until she started her career as a nurse?s aide. This was in the old nursing home which started at the old Nipawin Hospital until Pineview Lodge was built. She worked here for over twenty years till ill health prevented her from continuing. They continued to live in their home until their move to Aspen Grove where they eliminated the workload of attending a large yard and garden plus the processing of all the fruits of their labour. Norma was a wonderful cook and took great pride in canning and baking as well. Homemaking was a big part of her life. She also took care of Grandma Lehne who lived in their home for quit a few years. Norma had many great hobbies, listening to the radio, reading, puzzles of all kinds. Some favorite TV shows were Jeopardy, Wheel of Fortune and the Price is Right. She also enjoyed Tribal Trails, especially the music. Her favorite pastimes were her family ? her children, and ten grandchildren and in later years her 19 great-grandchildren. She also enjoyed socializing with her friends at Aspen Grove as long as she was able. Some of her fondest memories were their 50th wedding anniversary celebration and any family gatherings, most recently her 90th birthday held last summer. Also her trip with her sister Elva, and daughters Fay and Evelyn to Carduff. Some of her saddest memories were the loss of her husband Reinhard on December 22, 1996 and her son Gordon on December 24, 2007. She was also predeceased by her parents John and Eliza Shier; her brothers Harold, Donald, Marshall, Allan and Jack; sisters June, Olive and Mavis. She leaves to treasure her memory her children: Clarence (Lorna) Lehne of Regina, Darlene Boyle of Stoney Plain, Alberta, Evelyn (Gordon) Anderson and Fay (Lyle) Anderson of Carrot River; brother Walter Shier; sisters - Elva Wall, Vera Boe, Dorothy Wall, Avis Foster and Erva Johnson; grandchildren - Reinhard (Carol), Robert (Cheryl), Audrey (Bret), Cheryl, Allan, Jackie (Peter), Tracy (Mike), Greg, Shawn (Maria), Ryan (Laura); great grandchildren ? Darcy, Dawn, Dylan, Dustin, Colton, Camryn, Alex, Sam, Shane, Cody, Brandie, Jordan, Ethan, Mackenna, Kalem, Alea, Amiya, Julia and Brenna.
