The father was engaged in farming and the mercantile business, and during the time the jail was building at York he was commissioner for York County, after which he retired from active business in 1851. He was a progressive farmer and merchant, and a director of the Dillsburgh Bank. He owned about 180 acres of well improved land. In all public affairs he took a lively interest until his death in 1876. His wife survived him only two years. They were members of the Lutheran Church and had seven children: Catherine, Edward, Christian, all living: Lydia Ann (deceased), Elizabeth (deceased), Mary Jane (deceased) and Sarah E. Edward Dick has always been identified with the old homestead. He, like his father, is one of the most progressive business men of the township. He owns 230 acres of improved land, and ab! out 100 acres of mountain land. Besides farming he is engaged in the mercantile business, owns a grist and saw mill, and since 1853 has been postmaster at Clear Spring. He has been school director for nine years. January 22, 1857, he married Elizabeth A. Myers, of Adams County, who, like himself, is a member of the Lutheran Church. They have four children: John H., George W., Charles E., James A. (deceased) and Lottie M., some of whom are already assisting their father on the farm, in business and in the mill.

Do you have any other information regarding this Samuel - specifically his parents and siblings? I am searchiong for the parents of an Abrahm / Abraham Moyer-Myers-Myers b. about 1770 in PA, married to an Elizabeth (last name unknown). I have suspicions that he was the son of a Rev. Samuel Moyer & Catherine Kolb. I think also that Elizabeth may have been Elizabeth Bechtel/Buchtel. This line moved to Ohio (Wayne County) where there is also a large centering of 'Bechtels' and I am fairly convinced that Abraham's children included a Samuel B Meyer, John Meyer, Jacob Meyer, Henry/Heinrich Meyer, and Joseph Moyer who are all found in Wayne Co., OH but were born in PA.
