Back of photo reads: "Ebenezer Church and cemetery where Grandma and Grandpa Tindall are buried. [James]Tindall gave the land for the church and cemetery. Signed Murray Jelly." Ebenezer United Church was Wesleyan Methodist before Church Union occurred. This building was demolished in the early 1960s and the congregation spread out to other local churches. The cemetery still stands today, and the space of the old church remains vacant.
The Bannerman family are one of the many of the Scotch Settlement buried here (the Hunters, Magees, Faris' and Macbeths are others who have family plots within the cemetery).

Bradford Witness newspaper article on the fire which destroyed the Bond Head United Church in 1941. From a scrapbook made by Vira Bateman. "Almost isolated by roads which were nearly impassable, residents of Bond Head and surrounding districts yesterday formed a bucket brigade and fought flames which, for a time threatened to destroy part of the town. The Bond Head United Church (upper left) was completely destroyed. The fire started in a near-by garage owned by William Jardine, who was badly burned in an attempt to rescue his car (lower left). Three of the volunteer firemen are shown (upper right) cooling off after the battle. They are (left to right) cooling off after the battle.

An early picture of Ebenezer Methodist Church, which later became United after Church Union in 1925. This church started as a log building in the mid 1830s, built before the land was officially deeded to the church. It was replaced by a frame building in 1845-50, and in 1880 this brick church was built.
