This cemetery is owned and maintained by the Lebanon Odd-Fellows Lodge.
The following information is transcribed from the WPA Linn County Cemetery Survey, researched & prepared by Leslie L. Haskin on 2-19-1940. (Note: The Lebanon Odd-Fellows Cemetery lies adjacent to the Masonic Cemetery without dividing fences. The Odd-Fellows Cemetery lies in an L shape on a part of the William B. Gore donation Land Claim and adjoining the north half of the Masonic Cemetery along its north and west lines.). Although the first burials took place here in 1869 the land was not actually set apart for cemetery purposes until January 19, 1871. On that date William B. Gore deed the north half of this cemetery to the Masonic Lodge. On or about the same date Morgan Kees is said to have deed a similar tract and right of way which comprised the south half of the cemetery but though careful search was made no record of such transaction could be located. The cemetery does, however, extend south upon the Morgan Kees tract, or an equal distance on both sides of the north and south line of the right of way.
