Here's a puzzle.I sent off for OBITS on three people that I couldn't pin down.The one thing that they all had in common was that they were buried in the plot of my great-grandfather and that meant they were immediate family.Here are the facts I received:
.............................1.J. Lynn. MOYER,b. 10 Oct 1882 or 14 Aug. d. 8 Oct at 8:10 PM Saturday night of pneumonia at St. Joseph’s Hospital per OBIT 9 Oct 1932 in Reading Eagle andbur. 12 Oct 1932 Section R Lot 145 grave #8 of Charles Evans Cemetery. Son of John and Elizabeth (Remack) Moyer and grandson of Mrs. Catherine Remack ofsouth 11th St.He was a member of Williamson Lodge # 307 and A.M. of Womelsdorf and a member of Christ Episcopal Church, Reading.He had moved to Bernville a year earlier.He was the brother of Jennie (Moyer) Erdman, wife of P. Willard Erdman of Reading.
.............................2.Minnie Mary Moyer, b. 15 May 1885 d. 31 Mar 1891, buried in Charles Evens Cemetery lot 145 sec R with Joseph P. Moyer, from OBIT of 3 Apr. 1891 pg4 in Reading Eagle.

Sounds simple enough, but I have no John Moyer except my grandfather in the immediate family of Joseph P. Moyer and would he have been about 11 years old when J. Lynn was born.I also have Joseph's Brother, John Keim Moyer as died in 1866.I don't know where I got the death date from.Joe's brother John would have been 52 when Jennie was born.Yet, I have no other John Moyer around in that time frame.Any of you have a John and Elizabeth (Remack) MOYER?They most certainly would have been in the 1900 Reading census as John, Eliz, Jennie and J. Lynn.
