From the Editor 3
Lynn Lewis, daughter-in-law to NALF member, Eddie Weis, alerted us to an article in the February/March 2006 issue of American Heritage magazine. Featured in "My Brush with History" is the late Emory Lively, a member of the 3rd Alabama Calvary camped near Lookout Mountain during the Civil War. The article, written by Catherine Lively Hansen of Lookout Mountain, Tennessee, concerns Emory's life following the war, particularly his "war-born dream" of settling in Tennessee, and eloquently expounds on the reconciliation achieved throughout this great nation in the years following the Civil War. The article is accompanied by a photograph of several members of the United Confederate Veterans visiting Emory's home at Lookout Mountain.

Lively Family History

On July 4, 2005, the Lively League met for their 75th annual family reunion. A record crowd of approximately 254 Livelys (including 30 guests) gathered at Lively Pond in Shellbluff, GA under the recently expanded pavilion for food, fun, and memories. While kids frolicked in the pond after the meal, the adults conducted their annual meeting. Throughout the course of the afternoon, many reflected on how blessed we are to enjoy this family tradition for all these years. This tradition was one that began through the efforts of several brothers and their families one steamy July afternoon 75 years ago.
On July 4, 1930, the descendants of George Pierce Lively and their families met at the home of James Thaxter Lively near Waynesboro, GA. About 50 family members enjoyed an old-fashioned barbecue served on a long table built beneath the oaks. After the meal, family members traveled by auto to Botsford Baptist church, where they gathered around the church steps for the recitation of poems and family stories. The day was such an enjoyable event that the elders met to officially declare the event an annual occurrence. Green P. Lively made the official motion, which was unanimously carried, and James Thaxter was elected president. It was also decided that the event would be held every July 4th at "The Old Home Place," now affectionately known as Lively Pond. This gathering of Livelys has also officially become known as The Lively League.
Throughout the years, many traditions have been passed down as the Lively families met each Independence Day. A barbecue pit was installed at the pond and several young men manned the pit throughout the wee hours each July 3rd. Van Zandt Lively, son of James Thaxter and Julia Smith Lively, became known as the maker of the hash, while his older brother, Quartus Urbane (Q.U.) was the one who concocted the sauce. These duties have since been passed on, with Van, Jr. now in charge of the hash and Scott and Shannon Norton taking on duties of sauce-making. Ashton Lively originally manned the lemonade stand, a task now deftly undertaken by Mike and Susan Lively and their families. Julian Lively is the official "conch-shell-caller," announcing the official beginning of each reunion with a long blast on a conch shell, a tradition also passed down by his father, Ashton.
It is remarkable in this day of globalization and fast-paced living that a family tradition of such magnitude is still honored and celebrated. Family is the mainstay of the National Association and equally vital to Livelys everywhere. Please share with us the history of your local Lively traditions for future issues.

George F Lively Line Misc. Lively Lines – Section N, Page 1058

Genealogy research by Mrs. Bernice O. Lively Awtrey provided the data included in the Supplement to Livelys of America 1972, pages 1058 – 1064. This new line was given the name of George F. Lively and designated as Section N in the Misc. Lively Lines Chapter 14. In the Second Supplement to Livelys of America 1982, this line was inadvertently left out and Section N was assigned to the Aaron Lively Line (page 1735). Over the years Mr. Dwight George Allen has done considerable research on his family line, which just happened to include a George F. Lively. Dwight has documented two generations of ancestors for George F. Lively; George F. was the oldest son of Samuel Lively (possibly Jr. – b. abt 1812) and Nancy Kent (b. abt1809) of Oglethorpe County, Georgia. Samuel was the son of Samuel Lively (possibly Sr. – b. before 1781 in GA?) and Rhoda (?) Lively (b. abt 1785 in GA?)
If you have any data on this line, please contact Bob Lively at the address or phone number above.
