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. [28897]

Obituary Online notes for John Thomas (Spouse 1)
John Thomas Ingle was son of Vincent Govain Ingle and Mary Adeline Ingle. Researchers please note that the Ingle surname is correct for both John's parents. Vincent and Mary Adeline were first cousins born of parents both bearing the Ingle surname.
John Thomas Ingle married Lydia Moyer in Greenup, Cumberland County, Illinois and they had
Addie Ingle born Greenup
Jennie Ingle born Greenup
Clint Dennis Ingle, Born Greenup, with Dennis being the name of Lydia Moyer's youngest brother.
Jerry Ingle born Greenup, Cumberland County, Illinois
Elga Ingle born Greenup, Cumberland County, Illinois
Jerry and Elga may have died in Greenup before John and Lydia migrated to Holcomb. Other than being identified as children of this couple by descendants, I have found no actual legal documents naming them.

John Engle, age 26, and this is John Thomas Ingle
William Engle, age 22, and this is William Ingle, brother
Riffin Engle, age 21, and this is Ruffner Ingle, brother
Columbus Engle, age 19, is Columbus Ingle, brother
Allen Gouch, age 6, is Allen Gooch, son of Adeline Ingle Gooch
John Engle, age 15, is the nephew of Mary Engle/Ingle, the head of household and widow of Vincent Ingle.
John Thomas Ingle and his sister Adeline Ingle Gooch married Moyer siblings.
John Thomas Ingle married Lydia Moyer.
Adeline Ingle Gooch married as her second husband James Albert Moyer
These two couples, along with Lydia and James Albert Moyer's brother Samuel Wilson Moyer migrated to Holcomb, Dunklin County, Missouri in 1892. The weather was awful, the Mississippi River flooded in one of the worst floods recorded up until that time, wagons mired in the mud, and the three families got stranded in Charleston, Mississippi County, Missouri (near Sikeston). The three couples stayed in Charleston for nearly a year before they traveled on to Holcomb. According to Virgie Ingle Pharris, a granddaughter of John Thomas Ingle and Lydia Moyer Ingle, the families were on their way to Louisiana to work in the pine forests. By the time they arrived in Holcomb in 1893, they decided they liked it and would set up their homes there.
By 1900, all three of John and Lydia's children are living with their uncles James Albert Moyer and Samuel Wilson Moyer. Several online descendants/connections report John's death date as 1935. I have searched extensively for legal proof but have found none. I have searched extensively for the "root" of the reported death date of 1935, but I haven't yet isolated when the 1935 death date started appearing. While various people report the date, none of them attach any proof with it.
John Thomas Ingle is probably buried in an unmarked grave in Pine City Cemetery in Holcomb, Missouri where James Albert Moyer and Samuel Wilson Moyer are buried. There are several burials in the Moyer plot in Pine City that have no markers. In 1971, when my father Marvin Doyle Moyer, was buried at Pine City, the cemetery administrator said it was difficult to find an empty plot. Several attempts were made to find a burial site for Daddy but each time an attempt was made, a prior burial was discovered. These prior burials were not shown on the cemetery map.
It has long been my belief that the unmarked graves at Pine City belong to Lydia Moyer Ingle, John Thomas Ingle, at least two of their children, and some of the Ravelette family that belonged to James Albert Moyer's second wife Victoria Ravelette Moyer. James and Victoria married late and life and she is buried at Pine City. I have found some death certificates for Ravelette familily members that indicate they were buried at Pine City, but when I have visited the cemtery I have found no Ravelette markers.
John Thomas Ingle and his wife Lydia Moyer Ingle probably died before death certificates were required, thus, I have been unable to find death certificates for them. [28895]
