Ebenezer United Church

Ebenezer United Church

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.

Description : Bennett-Bennet - At the residence of Mr. Robt. Wilson, Bradford, on Wednesday, April 14th, by the Rev. J. Locke, Mr. Wm. Bennett, of West Gwillimbury, to Mrs. Joshua Bennett, of Gilford.

(on the same page)
"On April 14 Mr. W. Bennett was united in the holy bonds of matrimony to Mrs. Joshua Bennett, of Gilford. The happy couple took the train at Gilford on Thursday evening and spent their honeymoon in Barrie. Your correspondent wishes them every success through life."

(on pg 5)
"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."
