"A quiet wedding was celebrated in town at the residence of Mr. Robt. Wilson on Wednesday evening of last week. The contracting parties were Mr. Wm. Bennett, of Deerhurst, and Mrs. Joshua Bennett, of Gilford. Their large circle of acquaintances will rejoice with them over the happy event. It is rather a strange coincidence that the bride and groom's name were the same."

On April 1st, 1863 and official post office opened near this same location and served this community until December 1912. In 1830 James Tindall, who lived across the road from Gill's, donated land from his lot 16, con. 12 farm for the first Ebenezer Wesleyan Methodist Church and cemetery. New churches were built about 1850 and again in 1880. This church was closed in 1966. A small hamlet grew at this location which still remains today.
