JOHN A. MOYER.
John A. Moyer is the editor and publisher of the Daily Mining and
Financial Record of Denver, the only daily paper published in the world
devoted to mining interests. Mr. Moyer is a native of Ohio. He was born
at Upper Sandusky in March, 1878, and is a son of P. and Eva (Reading)
Moyer, both of whom were born on the other side of the Atlantic. They
came to America when about twenty years of age and settled in Ohio. The
father there engaged in farming and afterward he removed with his
family to Topeka, Kansas, where he continued in active connection with
agricultural interests. Both he and his wife are still living there.
They had a family of seven children.
John A. Moyer, who was the third in order of birth, spent his
early life in Topeka, Kansas, where he pursued his education in the
public schools, supplemented by study in a business college. He then
started out in the newspaper field and in 1898 came to Colorado
Springs, where he secured a position on the Colorado Springs Telegraph.
He remained with that paper for about four years and then removed to
St. Joseph, Missouri, where he was connected with the St. Joseph
Gazette. His identification with that paper
in various capacities covered six years, after which he moved westward
to San Francisco, California, and became one of the owners of the
Orchard and Farm, a weekly journal devoted to agriculture and
orchardizing. He conducted that paper successfully for two years, after
which he sold out and returned to Colorado, taking up his abode in
Denver. For three years he was with the Denver Post and during two
years of that time he was also business manager of the Kansas City
Post. He afterwards secured an interest in the Daily Mining and
Financial Record and on the 1st of March, 1916, was made general
manager of the Union Printing Company, which corporation owns the Daily
Mining and Financial Record. He is now giving his energies to the
publication of the Mining Record, which is devoted to mining, oil and
financial news. It is the only daily paper of the kind published in the
world and has a very large circulation. It contains everything of
interest to the mining man and there is nothing of importance to the
mining interests of Colorado that does not appear in its columns. The
news is thus widely disseminated and, moreover, the large circulation
of the paper makes it a very valuable advertising medium.
On the 9th of October, 1902, in Salt Lake City, Utah, Mr. Moyer
was united in marriage to Miss Elizabeth Fuller, a daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. H. E. Fuller, of Des Moines, Iowa. They now have two children:
John Frederick Moyer, born in St. Joseph, Missouri, in 1904, and now a
junior in high school at Denver; and Geraldine Virginia, who was born
in St. Joseph, Missouri, in 1909, and is also attending the public
schools of this city. Throughout practically his entire business career
Mr. Moyer has devoted his activities to newspaper interests and in this
connection has become prominent and popular. He is a well known editor
of Colorado and stands high in journalistic circles in the state.
