LANCASTER FARMING (newspaper) Lancaster, Pa. October 5, 2002, about a three-day auction to be held on 18 October, 1 p.m., 19 October, 9 a.m., and 21 October 1 p.m., for the contents of the MAYER Homestead where six generations of the family had lived until this year [2002].
The first part of the article has the history of the MAYER Homestead, as told to the auctioneer, Bryan D. Imes, by the last owner, Elkanah (Ken) Lehman, as follows: In the early 1700s, Thomas WILSON came from Ireland to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and established himself as a successful Philadelphia merchant.
Being a good friend of the William PENN family, he was commissioned to chase squatters from "Penn's Land" in this part of the Juniata Valley, Pennsylvania. In exchange, Thomas was given 1,000 acres of land, owning the entirety of what we now know as Port Royal borough and vicinity, Pennsylvania. When he died in the late 1700s, WILSON left everything to his son, George, who built the covered bridge in 1851. When George died, he left everything to his son, William, who passed away in 1881. William's daughter, Lucie Jane WILSON, who had married Charles W. MAYER in 1878, inherited 350 acres of the original grant, and when Charles MAYER died in 1932 and Lucie (WILSON) MAYER in 1934, the property was left to their eight children. In 1939, seven of the children turned the homestead over to their brother, George L. MAYER. George retired from the Pennsylvania Railroad in 1949, moved to this farm, lived there three years, and died in 1952. The farm was left to his sister, Rhoda Unger MAYER, who was never married. Rhoda resided in the homestead after retiring from a 40-year teaching career, passing away in 1967, leaving the homestead to Lucy Wilson BUCK, a niece, and her husband, Elkanah (Ken) LEHMAN. Lucie and Ken had married in 1948 and lived on the homestead for 54 years before Lucie passed away in February 2002, a retired teacher. . . Part of the original farm is now known as The Port Royal Lion's Club Park.
Ken LEHMAN has now sold the farm to James and Susan SHEAFFER of Port Royal, Pennsylvania and has ordered the sale of the items from his wife's old family homestead at public auction.
Included in this auction are very old books, portraits, paintings, lithographs, Bibles, and local interest postcards and paper items.
The MAYER Homestead Auction is located in Juniata County, Pennsylvania, along Route 333 at Port Royal, Pennsylvania, midway between Harrisburg, Pennsylvania and State College,
Pennsylvania, three miles off the Route 322 Port Royal, Pennsylvania (Route 75) exit. Follow Route 75 south to Route 333 west, turn left at Lehman's Covered Bridge (watch for signs).
