In 1885, Rose Hill was bought by John MacKinnon, who, with his sons, Major and Arthur, held it till 1905, when they sold it to George Inman, and moved to Tracadie.

George's son, Fred Inman, owned it until 1953, when Winfield and Harley Gamble, the present owners, bought it to add to their farm, making a total acreage of 168.

It is interesting to note that while MacKinnons and lnmans owned the farm, they operated a post office in the house. This was in the early 1900's.

V Also, the wild roses which gave the farm its name are still growing along the fence which runs to the shore.

Mr. Yeo then passed the land to his employee, Isaac Winchester, who farmed the land and fished the seas to earn a living. lsaac's daughter Carrie, Mrs. Frank Goodrow and her husband farmed the land for a time.
