Elisabeth D. (Kempker) Roller was born on Sunday, April 22, 1855 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She was the fourth child of Albert C., Sr. and Elisabeth (Rehmann) Kempker.

On Sunday, July 11, 1875, twenty year old Elisabeth married twenty two year old Jacob E. Roller. The ceremony took place at St. James Lutheran Church, 1341 Mays Landing Road, Folsom Borough, Buena Vista Township, Atlantic County, New Jersey.

They had one child:

  1. Ida Roller (1883- )

In the 1880 census, "Lizzie" was living with her husband in the Village of New Germany (now Egg Harbor City), Buena Vista Township, Atlantic County, New Jersey.  By 1890, they were living at Mays Landing Road in Buena Vista Township. The 1910 census shows them living on Winslow Road, Folsom Borough, Buena Vista Township. In 1920, Elisabeth was the proprietor of a grocery store "on her own account". She was back at the home on Winslow Road.

Elisabeth died on February 6, 1953 at the age of 97. She was buried at the St. James church cemetery. Jacob who was born on January 14, 1853, passed away on February 28, 1920.

In the Rehmann Family many events since the mid-19th century have occurred at two churches located at 1341 Mays Landing Road in Folsom, New Jersey. (Some sources list the address being in Hammonton, NJ.) There can be some confusion since names of these churches are spelled in slightly different ways depending on the date or the document.

Starting in 1848, the original church was established as St Jacobus Lutheran Church to serve the local German immigrants. It was located on a 12 acre plot of land which included a cemetery.

In 1853, conflicts over theological issues caused a split in the congregation. The land was divided into two six acre sites and one was used to construct what is now St James Lutheran Church, originally St James Evangelical Church. Charles Rehmann (1826-1892) was on the St. James committee. A second facility called Zion Evangelical & Reformed Church was founded at that time. It is sometimes listed as Zion's or Zions.

About 1998 around the 150th anniversary of the original church, the two congregations reunited into St James Lutheran Church. The cemetery is often referred to by either name, St. James or Zion.
