Just want to let you guys know, the Greenville slide presentation is GREAT! I was always curious about the history of many of the buildings in Greenville and didn't have the time to investigate myself. The internet slide presentation is a wonderful way to view certain areas of Greenville from the comfort of my home. My father is Dan Kaegy, who grew up in Greenville, IL. His siblings are Max Kaegy and Sharon(Kaegy)Berlin. My grandparent's are Loren Kaegy who has passed on and Edna(Gaffner)Kaegy who resides in Greenivlle. My cousin, Kevin Kaegy, is involved in the historical society in the area. I currently live in Breese, IL. I am very proud of my Greenville heritage and will be sure to pass it on to the next generation to come.

Hey........ I live in Greenville, for 15 years, and i really enjoy it, but it would be better if our community would have some activities for our teenagers. because going to the movies for $5.00 gets old after awhile..... maybe if y'all would get a skating rink or a pool hall.. that would be cool, just so we could all hang out. but otherwise Greenville is a really cool town!

Thank you ever so much for the many Greenville sites on the web. I especially love receiving "THE MONDAY MORNING QUARTERBACK." To stay in touch with the city I love is a dream come true! I may not be able to travel to Greenville as much as I want to, but I can at least make a daily trip there via the world wide web!

Keep up the good work Greenville!

PS: I look forward to "coming home" someday and seeing a movie at your new theatre! CONGRATS!!!! on the Globe Theatre!

THANK YOU for having such a wonderful site! I sincerely miss Greenville, having lived there as a GC student from 1986-90, and then several years after that. To see the news and events on this site, make me both "home sick", and happy as well. I once again thank all involved with this site, its like a virtual trip to Greenville each time I look at it!

By the way, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK with your local development (absolutely love the Globe Theatre!), but don't go too fast, we don't want to see little Greenville grow too much that its small town atmosphere becomes more of a "suburb" feeling!

I felt right at home in the community and that I hope to return, with my fiancée and children and settle in. Best wishes to one and all.

Wow, A trip down memory lane for me. I was born in Greenville and lived there until I was 11. I remember delivering The Greenville Advocate twice a week on my bicycle with my brother for $2.50 a week between us. My children will never believe that story. We always felt safe there. I remember GES and Pets day at school. My dog barked the loudest. Summers spent at the wonderful library and winning the most books read in the contest by my brother Roger and sister Ruth. We had our picture in the paper a lot. I guess because we knew them. Halloween was fun, always allowed out by ourselves back then, and we knew everyone. We lived in the DeMoulin House-we always called it The Galvin House. We missed that house when we moved. Those curved glass windows, wrap-around porch, the tower and two fireplaces. We all worked very hard on the yard. A quiet small town- nice place to grow up. I am now 34, married mother of 2 and a business owner in St. Louis. We love it here, but I should visit to see how everything has changed yet stayed the same. Love to hear from anyone that remembers the Galvin family-we always made an impact. Great site- Jacqueline Galvin Cotton

In the early 50's my husband, our 3 children and I lived in Greenville.  Prior to that I used to visit Greenville with my parents who lived near Woburn. Greenville's Bond Theater, with Johnny Mac Brown serials provided entertainment. Taylors ice cream was a treat.  I have many fond memories connected to your fair city.  Too numerous to mention here, but I am glad to have found you on the web.  Thanks

I just found you on my web.  I am new at this.  My husband & children lived in Greenville in the early 50's.I was born north of Woburn, IL and used to enjoy going to Greenville with my parents and sisters.  Bond theater was a treat to a good movie. Taylors ice cream during ww2 with the young men serving our country, pictures graced the walls.  The Purity and Brighties restaurants always served good food.

I'm doing family research and would love some help. Can anyone help me? My grandfather came from Greenville. He was taken from the Bond Cty. Farm by M/M Charles (Ellen) Ingels (never adopted) in the 1880ies, renamed Edgar Dalrymple Ingels was born July? 1879 or 1880. His original name was Daniel King, son of Daniel King & Lucy Reynolds King. He left Greenville in 1898 and only returned once for a few days. His younger sister was Nelle Louise Ingels, and never married. Also want to know about Cora (King) Lavanchy, Edgar's natural sister, taken in by Lavanchy family but probably not adopted either. Edgar and Nelle and Cora went to school in Greenville.

Great site. Enjoyed the slide tour immensely. My maternal grandmother who was Minna Blanchard, graduated from Almira College, 1874. I think I have the correct date.

I enjoyed your web site. I want to visit your city because my great grandfather, Benjamin Pitts Powell was born there in 1843 to William C. Powell and Rhoda Causey. Do you know how I can find out if William C and Rhoda are possibly buried there. Thank you so much. Perhaps I have relatives still there???

I took a chance that G-ville might have a website and I'm glad to see it was put together so good. I would love to hear from old school mates from the class of '80 and was wondering if a 20 year re-union was being planned this year. I spent my entire childhood thru high school in Greenville and still consider it home after all these years. Thanks for the website!!!

Arlene and I enjoy retirement in Greenville, and find many opportunities for service. My days are full of "volunteerism" efforts
mostly on behalf of Christian colleges and universities. I currently direct a new college and university presidents' mentoring
program, which has included 30 newer presidents. I also have completed several assessments of college presidents and boards of trustees. In all these efforts I find people who know of our beautiful community of Greenville. It is good to be an unofficial ambassador for Greenville.
