Roswell (whose nickname was "Rod") was, most of all, a dairy farmer, but he also did very well in the real estate business and the stock market. He and his father, Hosea, moved from Wayne to Rumford in 1894. Construction of the big paper mill in Rumford was drawing people there from several places. One other family to move to Rumford about that time was the William Goodwin family from Stoneham. At Rumford, Hosea and Rod operated a dairy farm on the East Rumford Road in Rumford Falls. Rod sold the milk on his milk route throughout Rumford. In 1908, the farm was destroyed by fire. The family relocated to the former Wist dairy farm, located between Rumford Center and Andover. That area of Rumford was known as Littlefield. Evaline and Charles were born there. Four other children died at birth or shortly after birth.

The next move took the family to Rumford Center, where Rod operated a much larger and more modern dairy farm. Tragically, that farm burned on 29 November 1927, and Rod was forced to give up his milk route. However, with money earned from wise investments in the stock market, Rod rebuilt the farm, which is still standing (not as a farm, but as a private home, without the barns). Rod bought several other properties in Rumford Center, and so earned the unofficial title of "Mayor of Rumford Center." The properties he owned provided homes for the persons who worked for Rod in his dairy business. He continued to operate the farm until his health failed. His son, Charles, took over the business and (after Rod's death) Roseanna moved into a small house across the road from the farm. The farm was sold to Dr. Charles Hersey in 1957. Dr. Hersey operated a veterinarian office and animal hospital there for several years.
Roseanna lived with Charles and his family in Andover, until Charles moved the family to Connecticut. She then went to live with Evaline in Norway. She died at Clover Manor Nursing Home in Auburn.
