Family notes: "Many of the Moyers were musical. Harold Moyer, father of Will, played alto horn. He directed a small civic band in Cropsy, Illinois. He would play the alto with one hand and direct the band with the other. Flora, Will's motr, played their reed organ. Ted sold the organ and bought a piano. Gertie, May, and Bessie all became quite proficient on the piano. Gertie played regularly for the Macabee Lodge in Springfield. She could also fill in on the bass drum if necessary. May was a good singer, and was in demand for social occiasions. Ted and Will were both good drummers.
Harold and Flora were divorced sometime around 1895. She remarried a Mr. Newell and lived in Indiana.

Other-Begin:
general info, as I do not have this document, is that there was an "Applicaton in the Matter of Finding the Heirship of Harold C. Moyer" which states,
that Harold was married a second time to Rachel Moyer (d. 19 Sept. 1933) who already had two sons, Rev. R.A.Beaty and Jessie B. Thompson (Tompkins?). Mae Winter Buth (Ruth), granddaughter of Harold also testified. She was the daughter of Mae Winter who was the daughter of Harold. Marie Henry was another granddaughter of Harold. Marie's mother was Gertie Crutcher.

This is according to Johnny Moyer, referring to his mother, Elizabeth Deaton Moyer's research.

(Died on Friday, 27th; buried on Tues, 31st. image attached)

comment: I contacted Indiana State Library 2 or 3 weeks ago with the request that they look for an obit for Flora (my great-grandmother). A follow up call a few days later, and then a week or some days went by and then the lady called to say she found it. Great! She mailed it, and then another week to get here. It came in the mail "today" Friday, May 27, 2011. What is so awesome about this is Flora died on Friday, May 27, 1938! How amazingly cool is that!
