   EDWIN Z. ROEDER P.O. Spinnerstown, was born in Pennsburg, 
Montgomery county, in 1841.  His father was the third son of 
Samuel Roeder, and was married to Esther, daughter of John 
and Rebecca Graber.  This couple were the parents of six 
children, all of whom are now living, our subject being the 
oldest child.  In 1864 he married Amanda, daughter of Daniel 
Dubbs, of Lehigh county.  Mr. Roeder received a 
common-school education, and was reared on a farm.  For 21 
years he has lived on his present farm, where he moved after 
his marriage.  Mr. and Mrs. Roeder are the parents of four 
children:  Carrie, Cora, Eugene and William, all living.  
Always being interested in farm life, Mr. Roeder has not 
sought public office at any time.  He is a member of the 
German Reformed church, and is a democrat politically.
