General Notes: Husband - Jacob S. Meyer

---

near Penn Hall, Centre Co, PA

The spelling of the surname has often been changed, and the Mayers and Moyers of Centre County belong to the same family as Jacob Meyer. His father always spelled the name Moyer, which practice had its origin in rather a peculiar way. While at school, a copy was written by his teacher, in which the name was spelled Moyer, and the pupils told that such was correct. Impressed with the knowledge of their teacher, they retained the spelling for many years, when the error was rectified, and the proper spelling adopted by quite a number.

Being a fine vocalist, he engaged in teaching singing during the winter seasons. He was a warm supporter of the Democratic party, and served as assessor several terms, supervisor and school director. In the Salem Reformed Church, in which he and his wife held membership, he was secretary of the Consistory, and leader of the choir. A great reader, he was well posted on all the questions of the day, and did all in his power to advance the educational interests of the township by elevating the standard of its schools.
