We are looking for a picture of the two Cedar of Lebanon trees that were planted by The Rev. Joseph Clokey in his yard near the present day Clokey Avenue. Rev. Clokey was a pastor at Mt. Lebanon United Presbyterian Church in the 1850s (at that time the church was known as the Associate Reformed Congregation of Saw Mill Run). He brought back the trees from a trip to the Holy Land and planted them in his yard. They stood there for decades until in the 1940s they were torn down. Wood from the trees was used to make three gavels that now reside in the municipal building, at the church and with the Woman’s Club of Mt. Lebanon. Please call 412-563-1941 if you have a picture.
