       White Oak United Methodist Church
 
  First known as White Oak Chapel, this church was dedicated on October, 
16, 1859 by Rev Issac I. Tatum of the Alabama Conference Methodist 
Episcopal Church South. The society was organized by Rev. John J. Cassady
who served as pastor in 1860. A log schoolhouse, constructed prior to 1859,
served as the church building. The church situated on land donated by Ezekiel 
Alexander (1803-1879). The grave of his son Asa, who died in 1861, is the 
earliest marked burial in the cemetery. Within a few years the log church was 
replaced by one made of rough, undressed lumber. A more finished building 
 was erected in 1888.
