Biographical History

Albert Berger Rossdale (October 23, 1878 – April 17, 1968) was an American labor leader, businessman, and politician. He notably served as the U.S. Representative from New York's 23rd congressional district from 1921 to 1923.

Born in New York City, Rossdale attended the public schools there. He worked as a clerk in the New York post office from 1900 to 1910, becoming president of the New York Federation of Post Office Clerks in 1906 and 1907 and vice president of the national organization in 1908 and 1909. He then engaged in the wholesale jewelry business.

Rossdale was elected as a Republican to the Sixty-seventh Congress (March 4, 1921 – March 3, 1923). He was an unsuccessful candidate for reelection in 1922 to the Sixty-eighth Congress and for election in 1924 to the Sixty-ninth Congress. He served as delegate to the Republican State conventions in 1922 and 1924. He served as delegate to the Republican National Convention in 1924. After leaving Congress, Rossdale again engaged in the wholesale jewelry business. He moved to Sandy Hook, Connecticut, in 1939 and to Bronxville, New York, in 1946. He died in Eastchester, New York and interred in Maimonides Cemetery in Elmont, New York.
