Bear Point School first began in the mid-late 1800's. Classes were held in a 2 story log 
building owned by James M. Brayfield were Bear Point Church now stands. The community was 
first known as Bear Paunch then Brayfield, followed by Bear Point.

   In the late 1800's the log school burned down and was replaced by a one room frame building 
with a front porch and bell tower. Later on 2 cloak rooms were added, one to each side for the 
boys and girls.

In 1959 it was sold to Clyde & Lola EUBANKS for $200.00. The front porch, bell tower and cloak 
rooms were torn away, the original one room remains and is used as storage.
