Pleasant Grove Church stood in a rural Texas district in 1919, when most families in that part of the state still relied on cotton, corn and livestock. The boll weevil had been moving through Texas cotton fields since the 1890s, forcing farmers to rethink their planting, and many tenants and sharecroppers worked land they did not own. Country churches like this one were the center of community life, hosting Sunday services, revivals, singings and dinners on the grounds, and they often served as the place where neighbors heard news from town or from men returning from the war in Europe. The influenza epidemic of late 1918 had only recently passed, and many rural families were still counting their losses.
