Description
Jonas Knight and his wife, Albertine Colby—known by islanders as "Aunt Teen"—ran a boarding house, the Rock Hill Inn, on Westport Island for many summer seasons.
Jonas Knight used this hay wagon and team of oxen in the summer season for haying. In 1911, a local paper also reported that guests from his boarding house were ferried by hay wagon to an ice cream social.
