Donald inherited the farm from his folks and changed the farm from mixed sustenance farming to a specialized tobacco farm. A nephew Ted (Edgar Basil Rouse) worked here when he was a teenager. His pay was $6.00 + board per day. Ted states how very fond he was of Donald and his wife Irene (Sandham). Irene's Dad was John Sandham - a great guy. Apparently John lied about his age and served in WW1 and lied again and served in WWII.
Don Sandham family lived 1/2 mile South of the home farm where Don and Irene farmed.

In the 1890's, in order ot obtain postal service, families in the area along the 11 concession between lots 14 and 20 in South Norwich Twp. had to gather together to decide a name for their community. The name 'Rosehill' was chosen and applied for but another village by that name was already in existence. The name 'Rosanna' was offered and in 1896 a Post Office opened and mail arrived from Courtland twice weekly. In 1912 rural mail delivery started from nearby Tillsonburg.

School debuted in Rosanna in 1865 and a new building was constructed in 1895 just east of the cemetery. In 1908. the Canadian Order of Foresters remodeled and took over the new school.

The first church was erected in 1884 by the Evangelical Methodists. Soon after the local people gathered together to build a brick faced structure they called the Calvary Church.

• Occupation: 1944; Tobacco farming
• Occupation: Between 1949 and 1999; Commercial Agricultural Pilot

Notes:

Thomas married his cousin Mamie Ann (Rouse) Allen, and subsequently
adopted her son Kenneth George Allen; thus Kenneth George Allen and Kenneth Allen Craven are the same individual.

Ray Craven marks 50 years as a Commercial Ag. Pilot

Ray sprayed the newly planted trees in N. Ontario with spray to kill weeds and brush to let the new trees get a good start."

Thomas was forced to drop out of high school late in his final year to take over the family's farm after his Father took sick. He took his flying lessons in London, Ont. He was able to take his first solo flight after just four hours with an instructor. Craven credits his instructor, a pilot trainer during the Second World War and later commanding officer of London's Reserve Squadron for teaching him all the right things. Ray obtained his private pilots license in 1947. Three years later, 1950 he obtained his commercial licence, and all the while, he contd working as a tobacco grower on what had now become his farm. For a few years he contd. farming and flying, doing mainly crop dusting jobs, but in time it became too much and his sister and brother -in-law started looking after the farming operations.
His work experience was crop dusting, spraying against spruce budworms in NB, tobacco spraying, pea crop spraying and mosquito spraying in Moncton and Dorval Airport. Later he was involved in aerial seeding and fertilizing; crops such as wheat and ginseng.

"Together Forever"

The front page of the July 27, 1944 edition of The Tillsonburg News:
far right of the page is a picture and short entry about Edward, a member of the Royal Canadian Navy, who was taken as a German prisoner of war after the sinking of his ship, the HMCS Athabaskan, on April 29, 1944.
At the time the destroyer Athabaskan was sunk, Edward was helping convoy supplies and troop ships to Russia. The ship sank in the English Channel after engaging with German destroyers and being torpedoed. Many of the seaman who went into the water that cold April day were rescued within 15 minutes of the sinking by the Athabaskan's sister ship the Haida, whose crew risked their own safety to pluck as many survivors from the water as possible. Edward, however, wasn't among those rescued by the Haida, and though he had all but given up hope of survival, was saved from the icy water by a German ship. Ed was a stoker on the Athabaskan.
According to Ruth (Ed's wife), the ship's captain went against orders and stopped to pick up remaining survivors. Once on board, said Ruth, the soldiers, near exhaustion, were cleaned and showered by the Germans. They were then transported to a prisoner of war camp near Bremen, Germany, where they would spend the next year of their lives.
Life in the prison camp was anything but luxurious. The walls of the camp were high and covered in barbed wire, and signs informed would-be escapees that they would be shot without hesitation if they tried to make a run for it. Soldiers in the camp were subjected to lengthy and strenuous exercise, said Ruth, and some died of exhaustion because of it. Those who survived the persistent exercise lived on minimal food.
Edward survived and made his way home after the war, where he met Ruth and they were married.
Edward suffered many nightmares from his war experiences. He sought help from a psychiatrist when he was 62 years. Following his retirement, Ed's health deteriorated rapidly; he became sedentary, and at times, wouldn't eat. Doctors tested him for numerous diseases and conditions, they could find nothing wrong. Edward died at the age of 72, and his wife Ruth feels the memories of war killed him.

Notes from Ashley Rouse, January 2010 - Grand Son
Edward joined the Navy and served aboard HMCS Athabascan. His ship participated in convoys across the Atlantic and up to Murmansk, Russia.
