The story begins in a similar fashion to my own history, with Patty’s ancestors hailing from Scotland and Germany, the same mix of cultures I am also from. Curiosity compelled me to read further and further into the pattern of emigration to Cottage Country, how did Patty’s family find their way here? How did they end up in a Farmhouse on the undisturbed Rose Point in the most beautiful protected part of the South Channel? How did they end up on the infamous Waubano Paddle Steamer which transported passengers across the rough seas of Georgian Bay from Collingwood to Parry Sound before there were railways or roads. The story dates back to 1894 when Patty’s now summer cottage was built by her great, great grandparents (Frank + Mary Hogg) to use a a year long home while he was working for the Midland and North Shore Lumber Company from. This original farmhouse was the first house on Rose Point in Parry Sound. He purchased approximately 150 acres of land stretching from the neighbour's property to the girls' camp. Frank Hogg bought the land from Annette Rose, who was the widow of Martin Rose, picked a nice spot, and built the house. His oldest daughter Wilhelmine (Patty’s great, great aunt) wrote about how Rose Point got its name in her autobiography: "...the prettiest point we called Rose Point. It attracted the eye of W.F. Thompson, a hotel man, who bought it and built a summer hotel on it. He wondered what to call it, and Dad said, "We call it Rose Point," and Mr.Thompson said, "Good. Rose Point it is," and there it is today on any map of the vicinity..." Patty’s ancestors lived in this home until around 1916 when they moved south to the states and landed in Cleveland, and then to Florida, using this Rose Point home as a summer residence from then on.
