General Notes: Husband - Nathaniel Moyer


He attended the red school house near Loysville, Perry County, Pennsylvania. He first learned to speak the German language. He assisted his father on the farm until he was of age, when he learned the plastering trade, and continued to work at it for three years. For the following nine years, he was engaged in burning lime, after which he rented a farm, and cultivated it for eight years. At the expiration of this time, he rented a farm in Spruce Hill township, Juniata County, where he remained four years; he next rented the Charles Books farm, in Beale township, which he worked for fourteen years. In 1886 he purchased his own home, a farm of 100 acres, known as the Jacob C. Hertzler farm, which he greatly improved. Mr. Moyer was a Democrat; he was elected on the ticket of that party to several offices in Beale township, among them those of auditor, assessor and judge of elections. He was a member of the Presbyterian church, and was for some years an elder. During his residence in Perry County, he was a trustee of his congregation, was also a member of the choir, and served the Sunday-school for several years as superintendent.
