General Notes: Husband - Isaac Boyer

---

He came to Freeburg, Snyder County, Pennsylvania, with his parents in boyhood, and, after attending the subscription schools of that time, he learned the tanner's trade. At one time he owned the old "Boyer Tannery," which had been purchased by his father in 1815, but later he sold this property and engaged in mercantile business near by, in partnership with Andrew Roush. Afterward the firm removed to what became known as Bassler's Corner, in Freeburg, where Mr. Bassler built a store room and residence. After a time he became the sole owner of the business, and continued for several years, and his next partner was his son-in-law, Edward Bassler, the firm continuing until the death of Mr. Boyer. He was a tall, stately man, over six feet in height, but, although apparently healthy, he died very suddenly while going across the street for water, at seven o'clock in the evening.
He was active in religious work as a member of the Lutheran Church at Freeburg, in which he served for years as elder and trustee. In politics was a stanch Republican.

General Notes: Wife - Barbara Strayer

Throughout her life she was noted for her kindly nature, and in her domestic affairs she was a model of exactness and neatness. Among her generous gifts to the Lutheran Church of Freeburg maybe mentioned the pipe-organ and a complete communion set. On the last Christmas that she spent on earth she purchased one hundred and twenty baskets for the infant class in the Sabbath-school, and these happy children visited her home to express their thanks. She looked out from the window of her chamber with tearful eyes upon them as they held their beautiful gifts in their hands, and sang for her one of their sweet hymns.
