The saw-mill at Lebanon is owned by L. D. Pope and E. M. Washburn, who purchased the property in July, 1878, of S. K. Hawkins, who operated it about three years and rebuilt it during the first year of his occupancy. It contains one muley saw, which is propelled by water from the small stream running through the village. From the History Of Chenango County so evidently there were Washburn family members in the area.
