Interesting...

The Lebanon in the Fork First Presbyterian Church along with this cemetery was established in 1790 and is home to the oldest marked burial in all of Knox County, the grave of Elizabeth Carrick dated 1793.

The church evidently had more than a few buildings in this location before the last one, built in the early 1900s, burned in 1981. The monument that now stands is in the same location that the church had stood.
