"More than a hundred descendants of Leroy and Permelia Isaacs Venable met Sunday, September 2, 1990, at the old home place of the late Matt and Verlie Venable near Vincent, KY for their annual homecoming. The family cemetery is on the hill overlooking Begley's Peaceful Valley Lake.
"During the Civil War the Venables first made their way to Owsley County from Lee County, VA, by wagons and caravans searching for a peaceful land. Leroy was but a lad as he came with his parents, Leroy Sr. and Rachell Venable and other family members to settle in the valley on Buck Creek. Leroy grew up and later married Permelia Isaacs (Aunt Melia or Sis) and raised eleven children, whom now have gone to their reward. Six of the original family members were represented along with a host of cousins and friends of this close knit and God fearing family.
"Almost a century ago the "Venable Meeting" was first started at the request of Leroy Venable, the first to be held being a Memorial Service to him on the second Sunday in October, 1904, the year which marked his passing. Since then, except for a few years between, this tradition has been carried on meeting annually for over fifty years,many of the clan plan and work the year 'round that this event may be a special one for all."
In the 1880 Census, in Leroy's household, was: Robert Venable, grandson, 2 (1877-78), born KY father born KY mother born VA. Whose child is he?
