A Little Roseland Farm

From the Border Cities Star – December 31, 1925:

Interesting to note the location of the public school at what is now Dougall and Cabana. Was there an earlier school in 1925? The current Roseland School was built in 1928 and is further east. (East of Howard).

  • Indeed JBM, all the area streets must have been named after local figures. When my parents built their house on Morand in the 60's they purchased the lot from Mr. Morand. He was still growing corn at the north end of Morand for a year or two after our house went up. At that time, this area was still part of Sandwich South Township.
