Frederick E. Roszell farmed two hundred acres in Puslinch Township, and for many years served on the Council and as Reeve.  He held the reeveship for a longer term than any of his predecessors.  In later years his successors to that office have included his eldest son, Wilfred Roszell and his youngest son Norman Isaac Roszell.  All seven children of Frederick Edwin Roszell and Jane Ann McAninch married, and children who have married have all had children.  He was reeve of Puslinch for the years 1927, 1928, 1929 and 1930.  His nephew Donald Stewart was Reeve from 1939 to 1944, and his eldest son Wilfred became Reeve in 1949.  Later his youngest son Norman was to become Reeve for a record number of years, and also to be elected Warden of Wellington County.

In total Frederick Roszell owned 400 acres less the small corner out of which came the Manse of Crieff, and he later sold the rest of that lot to Colonel John Banne MacLean (son of the first Minister of Crieff) who preserved it by reforesting.  Both Frederick and Jane Ann are buried in Crieff Kirkyard, with many of their ancestors.
