I've "rescued" two old photographs identified as Great Grandfather MOYER and Great Grandmother MOYER which were taken at the Brown Studio in Sterling, Illinois. The names John & Lizzie REITZ MOYER appear on the back of both of the photographs which appear to have been taken in the 1890's with the couple appearing to be in their 70's at the time the photographs were taken. Based on limited research I believe that these may be photographs of John H. MOYER b. 12 Nov 1818 in Hilltown, PA to parents Samuel B. MEYER and Barbara HIGH, and his wife. The records I found suggested that her name was Elizabeth MYERS b. 15 Nov 1824 in Bucks County, PA and that they were married 28 May 1843. The couple had 9 children including Barbara, Hiram, Mary, Hannah, Susan, Amanda, Elizabeth, Samuel M., and John M. MOYER. Can't explain the difference in the wife's name, maybe "Reitz" is her middle name rather than a maiden name? I am hoping that someone from the family can be located so that these wonderful old photographs can be returned to them. If you are a member of this family, or know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley
