Hoyt Family Gilford

I collect all sorts of "stuff" and often look for things related to Lake Shore Park or Gilford.

I just purchased this post card, It's a very early view of the Gilford Community Church.
(Which was founded as a Free Baptist Church in the 1890's )

The note on the back of the card is what has me curious. It appears to say "with kind remembrances of your cousin Charles A Hoyt" .

I know there is a Hoyt Road in Gilford, and I could always head over to the historical society to see what they have on file.
Just wondering if anyone out here know any more about the beginnings of the church and anything about Charles Hoyt.
