Roseview SK is another Saskatchewan ghost town,
but it did have a Post Office, but no Elevator,
as as far as I can tell, no railroad.
Roseview, per Post Office Archive Site,
was located at Sec. 21, Twp. 4, Rge. 6, W2
from 1903 to 1918.
but it was actually almost straight south of Breeze,
in NE Sec. 24, Twp. 4, Rge. 6, W2
1/2 mile east of Breeze, then 2 miles south
or 3 1/2 miles N and 4 miles E of Kingsford SK,
and it actually had a School, located in SD #795 (ca1912).
It is shown on left side of my Dad's 1927 map.
NE Section 24, was the homestead of
John Wesley Commodore
who just happens to be the first Roseview Post Master,
which further proves this is the right location.

Breeze is a Ghost town, for decades now

My dad's 1927 map doesn't even show a school in the area.
If it wasn't for my grandfather operating the elevator,
I haven't found a record for it either.

Reason for doing this web page
 is preserving Small Town Saskatchewan
 for all in the world to see,
 And also preserving my family history
 for generations after me.

My Grandfather Gustav August (Gus) Gesell
was a grain buyer in Breeze
which tells me there was an Elevator here.

My Grandfather and Grandmother
Gustav August Gesell and Amelia Mae Wendel
Oct 1, 1879-May 27,1958  /  Nov 19,1879-Aug 5, 1968
Gus was the son of Michael Gesell
and Caroline Schepko from Lemberg/Neudorf
Mae was the daughter of Johann Ludwig Wendel
 and Barbara Unterschutz from Neudorf

One of their daughters was born in Breeze SK.
