   MICHAEL ROLLER, farmer, P. 0. Arcadia, was born March 2, 1822, in Columbiana
County, Ohio, son of William and Nancy (Teeters) Roller, natives of
Pennsylvania, and who came to Ohio in an early day, former of whom was an
associate judge of the courts for some years. In the fall of 1833 "William
Roller and his son-in-law, John Moore, came to Big Lick Township, this county,
and cut the timber and built a cabin on a farm in Section 15, and in 1834
brought out their families, and here William Roller and his wife passed the
remainder of their days. They were parents of following named children: Mary
(widow of Moses McAnelly), Agnes (wife of John Moore), Wilson (deceased), Susan
(wife of John Darrah). Michael, George W., Lucinda (wife of George Hemming) and
Charlotte (deceased wife of Hugh Matherson). William Roller entered two tracts
of land consisting of eight quarter sections, making a farm for each one of his
children. The subject of this sketch received his early education in Richland
County, Ohio, where his father resided for twelve years prior to coming to this
county. In August, 1846, he married Elizabeth, daughter of James Swindler, and
to them were born nine children—eight of whom are yet living: William, Sarah
(wife of Allen Spahr), Lucinda (deceased), Mary A., Philena (wife of J.
Huffman), George, Ida (wife of Samuel Taylor), Henry and Lorena. Michael Roller
is still living on the land originally entered by his father, and which is now
well improved. He served as township trustee for several terms, and is a man
much respected by his friends. He and family are connected with the Methodist
Episcopal Church.
