In the audience were people who had gone to school in the Old Lebanon Church building and whose parents and grandparents had gone to school there. The meetin is held annually as a sort of homecoming and for the purpose of cleaning up the cemetery. Some of the men have gone to the woods and made cypress boards and cut pole rafters to be used in recovering the building. It has been more than half covered, using materials as near the original type as possible. Pole rafters have been put together with wooden pegs and the entire roof will be made of cypress boards of native cypress.
All labor is donated.
Faithfully restored, the log building was used as projected. People in the community voted there, the American Legion met there, and small funeral services were held in the chapel. Ernie Deane wrote a beautiful story about the church which was published with pictures in the August 29,1965 Arkansas Gazette. In its time the log building has served as church, school and hay barn. Other families also use is as a homecoming site.
