The infection soon spread throughout body and resulted in his death. He was 68 years old.
Mr. Roller was born and reared on the old homestead at Weyers Cave. Later in life he bought the farm and farmed it until his death, He was a very successful farmer and accumulated a great deal of property. He was a devoted member of the Reformed Church, and it is due to his efforts and generous subscriptions that St. Andrew’s Reformed Church was built in Weyers Cave. Never did he fail to emphasize the value of the church and school to the community. He was very charitable, giving meat and bread as well money to the less fortunate in life.
