Center Point Church
From the Jamaica Fairmount facebook group: 1944- The Center Point Church was sold on site. The church had not hosted regular services since 1939 and closed after many members either died or moved away. The building was purchased by Albert Rohrscheib and was ordered to be removed by April 1 of that year. It was located southwest of Fairmount. During its days of operation, the church had double doors for entry and the men entered on one side while the women went in on the opposite side. Seating was also segregated with women on one side and men on the other. In addition, a platform was built for horse and buggies to pull up to the door, like cars would do now. There was only one wedding documented in the church history, which took place August 11, 1935. Rev. Tobias Cummins performed the ceremony for his daughter, Ruth to Marion Gahan. Marion was a son of John William Gahan, who operated a General Store in Jamaica at one time.
