The
Milledgeville Presbyterian Church was organized April 8,
1856. John Rice and William
R. Cooper were elected elders, in which capacity they served
until October 24, 1858. The first preaching was done by supplies
furnished by presbytery, Revs. McCune, Semple,
Shields, Eaton, Gleason, Alexander, Coulter, Wilson, McCollough
and others doing that work. Rev. J. G. Condit
continued as supply from 1860 to 1864, and was succeeded by Rev.
John Rice in the same capacity. For about two years Rev.
H. B. Lamb was pastor, and was succeeded in 1867 by Rev.
David Patton. who remained but a year. The congregation has
relied almost entirely upon supplies. In 1861 a building was erected,
35x42, which is still in use.
