*Note from Jerry Durham - "The VirginiaPoint
church was burned during the civil war because the Union troops that camped
there had typhoid fever. The first church (building) was made from
logs hauled from Jefferson Texas in wagons, also did you know that behind
the cemetery is a slave cemetery? I have a lot of kin there
Amos, Price and Easterly."

The last road is
pretty rough, but well worth the effort. A visitor to the church
will immediately recognize it because it sits in a open field on the north
side of the road and has a long gravel driveway from the road approximately
100 yards.
It is a beautiful white
church that has a single isle church down the middle with pews on both
sides, with the most magnificent stain glass windows at the back overlooking
the cemetery. Marie Youree had them made in remembrance of her husband,
Bill Youree, died 1994, the Great Grandson of William Newton Youree and
