Bio
The first burial in this cemetery was that of Montraville Woods, who is buried here with his brothers, Henry Gonzalvo Woods and Norman B. Woods. WEST POINT, TEXAS (Fayette County). West Point is north of State Highway 71 twelve miles west of La Grange in western Fayette County. It occupies lands originally granted to Montraville Woods and Thomas Alley in 1831 and was established during the 1880s at the crossing of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas and the Texas and New Orleans railroads. Montraville Woods was of the extended family of Zadock Woods, veteran of the War of 1812 who was later killed in the Dawson massacre. The Woods family established a fort in the area, and the fertile lands south of the Colorado River became known as Woods Prairie.
