In a 1955 story in The Blyth Standard, Charles Asquith of Auburn told how Eneas Elkin, after taking up the farm on the northwest corner of Hullett Twp., had set up a ferry service across the Maitland to he run by his wife during the day when the men were busy in the field. Although it was unknown exactly where the ferry crossed the river, Asquith speculated it was probably a little north of where the dam was built.
