From
History of Brunswick, Topsham and Harpswell, by G.A. Wheeler and H.W. Wheeler,
1878
Page 745: “Doctor Ebenezer H. Goss came to Brunswick soon after the Revolution…… he is said to have had an extensive practice but was a very eccentric man.
He sometimes indulged too frequently in alcoholic potations and it is narrated concerning him that on one occasion when he was inebriated some young rogue got him and his horse into a cow-yard and put up the bars.
The doctor started for his home at Maquoit, riding or course,
around the yard several times and exclaiming with oaths that someone had fenced
the road!”
