   EDWARD CRESSMAN miller, P.O. Line Lexington, was born in 
Rockhill township in 1856.  Philip and Annie (Gearhart) 
Cressman were the parents of five children, of whom Edwin 
was the second son.  He was a student at the public schools 
until 15 years of age.  He never served an apprenticeship 
before engaging in his present business.  In 1885 he married 
Lizzie, daughter of Jacob and Elizabeth (Leidy) Bachman.  
They have one child, Florence.  Not enjoying the 
opportunities of many of the young men to-day, Mr. Cressman 
by his industry and perseverance has succeeded in 
establishing himself firmly in business, and is liberally 
patronized by his neighbors.  In 1885 he purchased the mill 
property, where all kinds of flour and feed are produced.  
The mill is propelled by a twenty-horse power engine.  Mr. 
Cressman is a member of the German Reformed church and a 
democrat.
