First Presbyterian Church and Manse
Whitewright, TX
This Presbyterian fellowship began in 1853 in the home of pioneer Christopher Sears at Lick Skillet, when North Texas was still raw frontier. Over the following decades it planted daughter congregations, moved to the growing town of Whitewright, and in 1907 became First Presbyterian Church. The elegant Classical Revival sanctuary, with its art-glass windows, was built in 1930 beside a manse that had housed pastors since 1902.
Ely
Ector vicinity, TX
Civil War veteran Levi Wells Ely and his wife Laura came from Georgia in 1882 and farmed land that soon drew other settlers to this fertile, rail-served cotton country. The little community of Ely grew up around their farm, gaining a general store, cotton gin, blacksmith, barber, churches, and a post office. As often happened, the town faded: the post office closed in 1905 and the school consolidated away in 1949.
Vittitoe Cemetery
Whitewright, TX
Begun in 1852 as the family plot of Samuel and Ellen Vittitoe on land near Kentucky Town, this Grayson County burial ground grew into a public cemetery formally established in 1885. More than 700 graves record the community's early life, from settlers who arrived in the 1830s to Civil War veterans and local pastors and merchants. Many stones bear legible inscriptions while others are marked only by stakes or fieldstones.
Kentucky Town
Whitewright, TX
First settled in the 1830s as Annaliza, this Grayson County community was renamed by Kentucky emigrants in 1858 and laid out in an unusual pattern meant to guard against raids on the frontier. A stop on freight and stage routes, it became a cradle of "Sacred Harp" shape-note singing and, during the Civil War, a rendezvous for the notorious Quantrill guerrilla band. Its layered history packs settlement, culture, and wartime lawlessness into one small crossroads.
