Bedminster Township


ISAAC S. MOYER farmer, P.O. Bedminster, is a grandson of 
Jacob Moyer, who lived near Dublin, in this township.  He 
died nearly sixty years ago, and was blind for nine years 
before his death.  His son, William, was the father of Isaac 
S.  He was born on the farm near Dublin, and lived there all 
his life, dying at the age of 68.  He was a good man and was 
a member of the Old Deep Run Mennonite church.  His wife, 
Sarah Stout, survived him many years.  They had fourteen 
children, of whom ten lived to maturity.  Those now living 
are:  Abraham S., who is on the home farm; William S., 
living near there; Samuel, in Dublin; and Isaac S., who was 
born April 28, 1819.  After his marriage he farmed the home 
place for three years, then removed to his present place, 
which was then owned by his wife's father, and which he 
afterward bought.  December 16, 1848, he was married to 
Catharine, daughter of Abraham Moyer.  She was born May 12, 
1828, in the house which has always been her home, and in 
which her father and grandfather had lived and died.  They 
had ten children, of whom three died young, Abraham died at 
the age of twenty-nine, and Isaac at twenty-three.  Those 
living are:  Sarah, wife of Reuben F. High, of Plumstead 
township; Catharine, wife of Albert F. Myers, of Perkasie; 
Lizzie, wife of Dr. Brumbaugh, of Pipersville; and William 
and Tillman, who are living with their parents.  Mr. Moyer 
is an industrious man, has always attended closely to his 
business, and bears a high character for integrity.  He and 
his wife are members of the Old Deep Run Mennonite church.
