"Joseph B. Roe was three years old when his parents removed from Orange County, New York, to Sussex County, New Jersey, where they lived until 1851, when the family returned to Orange County, New York, and in the following year they came to Michigan. Settlement was made on the present farm of Mr. Roe, which has continued to be his home ever since. He materially assisted in its development and has improved and cultivated it, making it a very valuable and productive property.
In 1865 Mr. Roe enlisted for service in the Civil War, entering Company K, 10th Reg., Michigan Vol. Cav., under Colonel Trowbridge, and saw service in the army of the Tennessee, doing much guard duty at Knoxville and Corinth. In November, 1865, he was honorably discharged. In his early manhood he supported the Democratic party, but the events leading up to the Civil War led him to vote for President Lincoln, and he was identified with the Republican party until the campaign which resulted in the election of that Democratic statesman, Grover Cleveland. Mr. Roe is now affiliated with the Prohibition party, seeing in its supremacy a cure for many of the evils which undermine the principles of good government.
On October 7, 1863, Mr. Roe was married to Sarah E. Ogden, who was born in Sussex County, New Jersey, January 28, 1844, and is the daughter of Lewis C. and Phoebe (Harding) Ogden, the former of New York and latter of New Jersey.
Mr. Roe has long been a leading member and substantial supporter of the Methodist Church. He belongs to the G.A.R. and has long been connected with the local Grange. The family is one of noted intellectual and social prominence in Independence township, where all its members are held in high esteem.".
