  Pleasant Point Pleasant 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.
