If anyone is in the St. Louis area and has a County Library Card they can access HeritageQuest Online which has a book.."This is Washington County" online. ( digitised) The book mentions the Lively family. I really don't know any dates...etc.. of the Lively Family. I believe Lively Grove is named after this family. I think historically the family had a tradgedy with Indians in Illinois, as they were very early settlers. Perhaps..even close to the time of Daniel Boone. Sends my imagination running :) I think very illustrious family and a name you should be proud to carry. Would love to hear the story from a decendent of the Lively's.
