Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania; genealogy--family history--biography; containing historical sketches of old families and of representative and prominent citizens, past and present, J. H. Beers, Chicago, 1916, Volume I, Pages 584 and 585:
"George K. Moyer, grandfather of Mrs. Heine, was born Nov. 15, 1818, near the Red Church (Zion's) in West Brunswick township, where Mrs. Celia Mengle now lives. He owned several farms, and was a prosperous farmer and huckster most of his life; when he started out for himself he followed the timber business a few years. He died at the age of seventy-eight years, two months, and is interred in the burial ground of Zion's (Red) Church, donated by the Moyer family for that purpose, with the agreement that all Moyers might be buried there free of charge. George K. Moyer belonged to the Salem Evangelical Church at Orwigsburg and was one of its active members and officials, a good Christian man in every relation of life, and, what was unusual in his day, an ardent Prohibitionist. His first wife, Susanna (Hoy), daughter of Abraham Hoy, died at the age of thirty-four years, the mother of seven children, namely: Lewis, who died young; John H.; Samuel H., deceased, who married Carrie Shome, now a resident of Hamburg, Pa.; Amelia, widow of Charles Ege, living at Orwigsburg; Susanna, who married William F. Gerhard; Mary, deceased; and Mary (2), widow of Samuel P. Kindt. By his second marriage, to Lavina Faust, daughter of Dewalt Faust, Mr. Moyer had no children. She survives him, being now (1915) about seventy-six years of age, and is a resident of Orwigsburg."
