Obituary Online notes for Lydia MOYER
Family member through Daniel Moyer and Sarah Jane Cook
Lydia Moyer Ingle was daughter of Daniel Moyer and Sarah Jane Cook. She married John Thomas Ingle before 1883, and they had
Addie Ingle
Jennie Ingle
Clint Dennis Ingle
Jerry Ingle
Elga Ingle
Lydia probably died in either Holcomb, Dunklin County, Missouri or Piggot, Clay County, Arkansas. She and husband John seemed to move back and forth between these two towns between 1892 when they settled in Holcomb, and the 1900 census when their children are all found living with their uncles, James Albert Moyer and Samuel Wilson Moyer who were Lydia Moyer Ingle's brothers.
Lydia was enumerated on the 1870 census for Greenup, Cumberland County, Illinois with her father and mother:
1870 Census, Greenup, Cumberland County, Illinois
Daniel Moyer, age 37 father
Sarah Moyer, age 40 mother
Susan Moyer, age 16 sister
James Moyer, age 13 brother and this is James Albert
Lydia Moyer, age 13 also age 13 and sometimes reported as twin of James, however, they were born 11 months apart
Daniel Moyer, age 10, and this is Daniel Hays Moyer, JR, brother, and this is the uncle called "Dank"
Samuel Moyer, age 7 brother, and this is Samuel Wilson
Denis Moyer, age 2 brother and this is the uncle called "Dink"
After Lydia died, her children were raised by her brothers, James Albert Moyer and Samuel Wilson Moyer in Holcomb and Piggott.
Although Lydia's date of death, and burial site is unknown at this time, she is probably buried in an unmarked grave at Pine City Cemetery in Holcomb, Dunklin, Missouri where James Albert Moyer, his wife Adeline Ingle Moyer, and Samuel Wilson Moyer are buried.
Lydia died before death certificates started being recorded so I haven't found a death certificate for her.
In the early 1980s, Lydia's name was circulated among family members in early research as Lucinda. However, when I visited with her granddaughter Virgie Ingle Pharris in Sacaramento, California in 1984, Virgie told me that this was wrong, that her name was Lydia.
As the legal documents have surfaced and been read, it has been proven that her name was Lydia.
Lydia was a family name as she shared that name with her grandmother, Lydia Donat who married Mathew Moyer. It should be noted that there are other women named Lydia in the family from the 1700s and 1800s, but none named Lucinda.
Lydia Moyer Ingle was named in her father Daniel Moyer's WILL in 1892 in Greenup, Cumberland County, Illinois. A copy of this WILL is in my possession. 470, Lydia Moyer Ingle
