    Joseph Roell. Joseph Roell, whose success as a farmer is conclusive proof
that there is no calling which makes more satisfactory returns for the time and
money expended in its prosecution than that of agriculture, is most highly
esteemed by his neighbors. His fine farm is one of the best improved in
Whitewater township and his methods are followed by many of his associates in
their work of similar character. Mr. Roell was born February 18, 1868 in St.
Leon, Ind., a son of John Adam and Margaret (Pharr) Roell, both of whom were
natives of Germany. John A. Roell came with his parents to the United States
when but nine years old and located with them in Dearborn county, Indiana, where
he received his education. Mr. Roell was a cabinet maker by trade and followed
this for some years. Later he engaged in agriculture and continued until his
death. He was a member of the Catholic church and a Democrat in politics. Mr.
and Mrs. Roell were the parents of these children: Michael, who resides in
Harrison township; Mary, the widow of Aloys Singer, of St. Leon, Ind.: Regina,
the wife of John Lind, of Camp Washington, Ohio; Lena, the widow of Joseph Metz,
of St. Peters, Ind.; Catherine, the wife of Henry Wilhelm, of St. Leon, Ind.;
Frank, who resides in Harrison; Joseph; Margaret, deceased; Elizabeth, the wife
of John Metzler, of St. Leon, Ind.; Rose, the wife of George Folk, of
Connersville, Ind. Joseph Roell, whose name is the caption of this review,
received his education in the parochial schools of St. Leon, Ind., and after
learning all they could teach him there, returned to his father's farm and
assisted him until 1896. He then rented a farm and engaged in agriculture for
himself. Later he purchased a fine farm of 100 acres, in Whitewater township,
and is at present engaged there in general farming. Mr. Roell also makes a
specialty of raising fine Duroc Jersey hogs and Jersey cattle for which he has
an enviable reputation throughout the surrounding territory. Mr. Roell married,
April 19, 1894, Miss Margaret Metzler, a daughter of Henry and Catherine (Young)
Metzler, well known residents of Franklin county, Indiana. To this union have
been born these children as follows: Hilda Margarette, deceased; Louise Mary,
Elmer John, Edwin Peter, Victor Joseph, Stella Anna, Hilda Marie, Paul Philip,
Helen Margaret, Eugene Leo. Politically, Mr. Roell is a stanch Democrat, and in
religious affiliation is a member of the Catholic church of Harrison, Ohio. Mr.
Roell has always maintained a high standard of efficiency and industry in work,
honesty and integrity in business dealings and loyalty and public spirit in
citizenship in consequence, his standing in the community of Hamilton county is
an excellent one.
