    Fred Roessler. Every individual is called upon to work out his own destiny,
according to his own ideas. Some men make a success of their life's efforts,
others fail; but it is usually found to be true that those who accomplish most
are those who concentrate their efforts upon a given line of work and do not
allow their attention to be permanently averted. In the case of Fred Roessler,
of Harrison township, it is found that his record shows him to be a man who
thoroughly understands the business of farming and that through his
participation therein he worked his way to a position of independence. Mr.
Roessler is a native of Hamilton county, Ohio, having been born here, January 5,
1878, a son of Gottlieb and Mary (Schaefley) Roessler, both of whom were natives
of Wittenburg, Germany. They came to the United States while young and located
in Cincinnati, Ohio, where they remained for some time. Later they came to
Whitewater township, where they purchased a farm, and engaged in the
agricultural business throughout the remainder of their lives. Mr. Roessler was
a Republican in politics, but never cared for office. He was a member of the
Methodist Episcopal church. Mr. and Mrs. Roessler were the parents of nine
children, and they are as follows: Caleb, residing in Whitewater township;
William, a resident of Harrison township; Charles, residing in Whitewater
township; Paul, who resides in Hooven township; Mary, the wife of William
Heterseimer, of Whitewater township; Fred and John, residing in Whitewater
township; Andrew, a resident of Colerain township; Benjamin, residing in
Harrison township. Fred Roessler, who is the subject of this biography, obtained
his early education in the district schools of Hamilton county, and after laying
aside his text-books, returned to the home farm, where he assisted until the
death of his father. In 1908, Mr. Roessler purchased the George Oyler homestead
of fifty-five acres, where he is now engaged in general farming. Mr. Roessler is
a Republican, but never cared to hold office. Fraternally, he is a valued member
of the Knights of Pythias Lodge, and has held the office of master of finance
for some time. Mr. Roessler is also a member of the Grange and he and his family
affiliate with the United Brethren church. On January 14, 1902, Mr. Roessler was
united in marriage with Miss Hattie Williamson, a daughter of Joseph and Carrie
(Dean) Williamson, of Colerain township. To this union have been born four
children: Roy, Irene, Ethel and Norma, all residing at home. In concluding, it
may be said that as a citizen, he ranks high in the public opinion and as a man,
he is one of real worth and sterling character, and has the full confidence of
all who know him.
