This house used to be owned by the Luke Derosier family. I remember visiting there as a young child. I always thought it was a mansion. It was red with white trim.

I used to like traveling on these dirt roads and see or visiting some the local farmers. Certainly brings back memories...

It use to be in the Bose Family Bernard Bose Father Farm

My dad Bernard Bosse and his family were raised in this house. I remember my dad drove me to see the land when I was a little girl the house was burned down, a barn was left behind. Today, I think it is all gone.

Great picture.

My great grandfather's house (Joseph Oliver Bosse). He built the house in 1910. He would haul potatoes to the depot station in Frenchville and return with a load of bricks to build his house. His daughter Maria Bosse Chamberland was my grandmother. His son Alphe owned it later on and was the house first home on Flat Mountain to be connected to electricity and telephone. Joseph had another son named Philip. Joseph's first wife died in child birth.

Maria, married Oliver Chamberland. (My Grandparents

Phillip's daughter Irene was married to my brother Emile.

I remember the whole Chamberland and whole Bosse families very well. When Mr and Mrs. Alphee Bosse lived there my sister Prescilla Hebert-Chasse was always their housemaid when they would have their babies. I always thought it was a mansion also and I was sad when it was all gone.
