Ishmel W. Reeves was a little known preacher in the Restoration Movement. He lived a good part of his life in Northeast Alabama near the present day town of Collinsville. In the 19th century his home community of Lebanon was more prominently known as the County Seat of Dekalb County. He worked in this area as a farmer and preached the "Old Time Gospel". He served in the 19th Georgia Infantry of the Confederate States of America during the Civil War as an infantry Sergeant. His life was filled with preaching and teaching of the gospel in and around his home. His influence was felt in the hill country of both Northeast Alabama and Northwest Georgia. Little is known about who taught him the gospel, or how wide his influence was felt. (Thanks to Tom Childers for this information)
