LEBANON CHURCH (DISCIPLES)
Lebanon church was established in 1840. The Rev. Albert
R. Flippo gave one acre of land on which the house was erected
with the provision that if the land should cease to be used for
religious purposes it would revert to his estate.
Dr. Joseph A. Chandler, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas K. Chandler,
Mr. William Chandler, Mrs. George B. Washington, Dr. William
Seaman and Miss Sammie Williams were members of this church
and out of this congregation came two ministers of the Gospel—
namely, Rev. Albert R. Flippo and Rev. Hervey J. Seaman, of
whom see elsewhere in this volume.
Many eminent ministers of the Disciples communion preached
in Lebanon church, among them Rev. Messrs. Peter Ainslie,
Anderson, Dangerfield, DuVal, Henley, Abell, Cutler and Pendleton.

The house was subsequently used for about three years by a
religious body known as "Apostolics," under the leadership of
Mr. M. T. Beasley, agent of the Richmond, Fredericksburg and
Potomac Railroad at Woodford. After this the building was
taken for a school-house and is used for school purposes to this
day.
