ROESSLER, Hon. Edward (deceased). - To be great during life is to accomplish much, but to leave behind a memory that is tenderly cherished, and held up to others as an inspiration, is to do more. WHile much is forgiven the dead, and when one if honored either living or dead, and when one if honored from one end of the State to the other, when his public deeds are blazoned upon the pages of history, when he is remembered as a truly noble man, then it is certain that his life was governed by the principles of honor and religious truth, and his family are justified in their appreciation of him and pride in his achievements. The history of Shelby County would not be complete without the mention of the late Hon. Edward Roessler, whose death occurred April 30, 1901. Mr. Roessler was born in Lancaster, Fairfield County, Ohio, January 13, 1825, and there his early years were passed, he being about nine years old when his father moved to the farm where the boy grew to manhood, alternating his attendance at the district school with the healthful pursuit of farm duties. He continued at home until he reached his majority, when he enlisted, in 1846, in the United States Army, for service in the Mexican War. Mr. Roessler became a member of Company B, Fourth Ohio Infantry, and was in service all through the war. The most important engagement in which he participated was the battle of Monterey. He was mustered out of the service at Cincinnati, Ohio, and returned to Lancaster.
     Mr. Roessler had determined to come west, and in the spring 1849 he removed to Shelby County, Ill, with his father's family, and bought 250 acres in Rose Township. He immediately began to cultivate the land, preparing to establish his home upon it. The latter part of the summer he returned to Fairfield County, and was there married, August 5, 1849, to Anna Stumpf. Mr. and Mrs. Roessler became he parents of twelve children.
     When the Civil War broke out, Mr. Roessler became very much interested, and took an active part in forwarding the cause, securing many enlistments, and himself raised an independent company, of which he was commissioned Captain. His company was assigned to the Fifty-fourth Illinois Infantry, and he afterwards raised two other companies which were assigned to the same regiment. In consequence of his energy and zeal, he held the rank of Colonel, although not regularly commissioned, and remained in command until November, 1862, when he resigned.
     In the fall of 1870, Mr. Roessler was elected the to the Twenty-seventh General Assembly of the State of Illinois, and filled the responsible position with ability and to the satisfaction of all; he continued to take an interest in political matters until his death, especially in local movements. He was elected the first Supervisor of Rose Township, after its organization, and served in that capacity for about ten years, and for several years he was Chairman of the Board. Mr. Roessler was a prominent member of the Lutheran Church, and always took an active part in benevolent enterprises. He was a liberal contributor to all church work, and helped generously in the construction of a new house of worship. While his principal occupation was that of a farmer, Mr. Roessler was interested in many things, and was always extremely public-spirited. His death was felt to be a public calamity, and his loss was deeply felt throughout the county where he was so well known. In his home circle he was still more keenly missed, and his memory is tenderly cherished by his children and grandchildren, who honor his name and feel proud that they spring from one who never neglected a duty, or failed a friend, who was a good citizen, a brave soldier, and always stood ready to serve his country in either war or peace.³
