Description
History of the Photograph: The first known permanent settler in Lively was Joseph Lively who came from Monroe county WV and purchased 4000 acres of land. His son, Elias, came in 1884 to what is known as Town Creek in Lively. He lived in an Indian hut while building a log cabin to bring his wife to. Lively later built a much better resident where he lived until his death in 1914. In 1845, Rufus Lively, brother of Elias Lively, settled at what is now known as the Uncle Hance Williams place, where he built a log house and raised a family. Soon after the settlement the Laurel Grove Baptist church was built in 1893. A log school was built whose enrollment of 32 pupils, included 30 Livelys.
