"John H. Moyer, son of George K. Moyer and father of Mrs. Heine, was born June 3, 1845, near Pottsville, was educated in the schools of West Brunswick township, and worked for his father on the home farm until twenty-one years old. Afterwards he rented the place for twenty-two years, buying it after his father's death. It contained 101 acres, about eighty of which were cleared, and he continued to operate the tract until about seventeen years ago, when he sold it and purchased fourteen acres, to whose cultivation he devoted the next ten years. Retiring, he removed to Orwigsburg, where he bought a home from his son-in-law, Mr. Heine. He is a member of the Evangelical Church and a regular attendant at its services, contributing his share towards the support of the organization and its enterprises. In politics he is a Republican.
