Pleasant Point Pleasnat Point was located at CR 1010 and FM 917. There was an eight grade
school which later consolidated with Godley. Johnson County Rural Water
Plant #12 now stands where the school used to be. The Pleasant Valley
schoolhouse was moved to Godley and became the lunch room or the home
eonomics building (I don't recall which). I recall the old-timers saying
it took two weeks to move it the 4 miles. They pulled it with teams and of
horses and mules. They went cross country because the road bridges weren't
wide enough. Of course, every creek had to be bridged across. I believe
this must have been about 1926-1930. On the north side of FM 917 there
was a Baptist church. Growing up there (the school site was in the corner
of our pasture) we played around the old foundation. There were two 2 hole
outhouses and a flag pole there in the 40's. My ggf bought the place in
1892. After all the heir divisions I still have a small farm there. I
have been working on my tree for about 2 years. One line is back to 1620.
