James Patrick Rossiter


James Patrick Rossiter was a prominent politician in Pennsylvania.

He was the second of seven children of Louis T. Rossiter, an insurance company superintendent, and his wife Elizabeth C. Lizzie Rossiter. The family moved to the Philadelphia suburbs in New Jersey after James was born and by 1900 was living in the town of Wenonah in Gloucester County. His father brought the family to Erie in 1903, where he again worked in the insurance field. By 1910, the family lived at 439 West Fifth Street, just off Eries posh Millionaires Row, which runs along West Sixth Street between Perry Square and Gridley Park. After World War I, he returned to living with his parents at their West Fifth Street home. In 1930, he and two adult siblings were living with their widowed father at 616 West Ninth Street, just southwest of their West Fifth Street homestead.
