Chilhowee Township 

>From "The History of Johnson County, Missouri," 
Kansas City Historical Co. 1881

W. H. LIVELY,
   Among Chilhowee township’s influential citizens, we find the subject of
this sketch; he is the son of Wm. Lively, who is a native of Virginia, and
was born September 15, 1836, in Warren county, Kentucky, and is the fourth
child in a family of seven children. Mr. L was raised on a farm, working
during the summer months, and going to school a few months in the winter.
When he was about twenty-five years of age he moved to Missouri, settling
in Chilhowee township, where he has since resided, except about three
years during the war, when he was in Kentucky. When the war broke out Mr.
L’s sympathies were with the union, and he was enrolled for a time in the
state militia. Mr. Lively was married December 12, 1861, to Miss Fannie
Evans, who is the daughter of Samuel Evans, and a native of Missouri.
From this union there are nine children, all of whom are living, viz: John
W., Mary A., Bettie M., Lulia L., Emma M., Fannie H., Rufus H., Ida M.,
and George T. Since Mr. Lively’s residence in Missoiri, he has been
engaged in farming, raising and feeding of live stock. Mr L. has a
beautiful farm of 490 acres under a high state of cultivation, and well
improved. Mr. Lively is a thorough-going business man, eminently
successful in his business, and enjoying the confidence of all.
