I’ve been unable to locate a history of the congregation, but tax records date it to 1944. This style was popular with Baptist congregations in the early 20th century.

Jeffersonville United Methodist Church, 1924, Twiggs County
The Jeffersonville Methodist Episcopal congregation was formed in 1839, first meeting in the home of Joshua Grantham. Their first permanent home was located on West Magnolia Street, but was replaced by a more substantial frame structure on this location in the mid-19th century. In 1918, Ella Beckom donated funds for the construction of the present church to honor her parents, Mr. & Mrs. Fran Beckom, but money ran out just as the building reached the window ledges. The congregation met in the old Auburn Institution for several years but in 1923 construction resumed and was completed in 1924.

Tax records date this house to 1920, but I believe it could be older than that. I will update if possible.

One source identifies this as the Miller House, but I am unable to confirm at this time.

Dan Baker writes: “My grandfather, Tom Lee Stone, went to school here in the early 1900s. I suspect my grandmother, Sara Elizabeth “Lizzie” Stone, went there as well because they both lived in the same area as children. In later years it was a store. It was at the corner of Ga. 96 and Prospect Church Road.“
Update: As of 2020, this structure has collapsed.
