- Biography from Find a Grave:
The son of Arthur & Sarah (Fox) Moyer, in 1860 he was a farmer living in Derry Township, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania. He stood 6' 0" tall and had dark hair and gray eyes.
A Civil War veteran, he enlisted in New Cumberland, Cumberland County, August 9, 1862, and mustered into federal service at Harrisburg August 17 as a private with Co. H, 130th Pennsylvania Infantry, and honorably discharged with his company May 21, 1863. He then enlisted and mustered into federal service at Harrisburg February 2, 1864, as a private with Battery M, 2nd Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery (112th Pa), but on April 20, 1864, due to excessive recruiting, transferred to Battery K, 2nd Pennsylvania Provisional Heavy Artillery.
He was wounded on the top of the head June 17, 1864, at Petersburg, Virginia, resulting in a skull fracture and, he claimed, hearing loss and "partial derangement of mind." On September 5, 1864, the provisionals transferred back to the 2nd Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery. He was absent sick at muster out but according to his pension, he was discharged at City Point, Virginia, January 29, 1866, per general order. He later applied to the War Department for his veteran bonus that he claimed he never had received.
He married Amanda G. Briner August 5, 1870, in Harrisburg and fathered Georgia Elsie (b. 12/26/71 - married a Karl), Henry K. "Harry" (b. 01/20/73 or 76), Emmet L. (b. 01/20/76 - twin?), Mauda M. (b. 04/15/77 - married Harry C. Stephvens [sic - spelling per death certificate; probably wrong]), and Florence Anna (b. 06/12/81 - married Harry T. Miller). In 1880-90, he lived in Harrisburg, Dauphin County, but died in Swatara Township, from "lobar pneumonia."
