  From 1859 Montague's Business Directory: page 89:
  
  "1805--John Lively a brother of Joseph, who came at the same time, settled in the Prairie northeast of the Irish settlement, from which circumstance the prairie has been called "Lively Prairie." He was the pioneer of that part of the county, and sustained his position in a manner which excites sentiments of pride in his decendants. He lived in this prairie during his life, which closed in 1826. Reuben Lively, who lives near Athens, in St. Clair County, is the oldest son of John Lively. His other sons were James, Turner, William and Hugh P.--the latter was accidentally killed by the falling of a tree. Turner and William are residents of the prairie where their father lived. James is dead."
