Moyer, Annie l., daughter of Benjamin and Mary (Landis) Moyer, was born at Harleysville, Pa., May 1, 1880; died at the Eastern Mennonite Home, Souderton, Pa., where she had been employed for over 30 years, March 15, 1962; aged 81 y. 10 m. 14 d.

- Clemmer.--Annie D. Clemmer (nee Moyer) widow of the late Isaac Clemmer, deacon of the Salford, Pa., Mennonite Church was born Dec. 4, 1863, in Montgomery Co., Pa.; died Oct. 27, 1927; aged 63 y. 10 m. 23 d. Funeral services were held Nov. 1, 1927, at the home of her daughter Katie, wife of Jacob Gehman at Bally, Pa., where she died. Further sevices in the Salford Mennonite Church, of which she was a faithful member until death. Interment in the cemetery adjoining. There survive one son (Howard Clemmer) three daughters (Katie wife of Jacob Gehman, Mary wife of Norman Hunsberger, and Maggie wife of Clarence Geisinger). One daughter (Ada, wife of David Gehman) preceded her in death. 17 grandchildren survive. After the death of her husband nearly three years ago she made her home with her daughter Ada and seemingly in good health, helped to wait on and comfort Ada throught her lingering illness. A few months afterwards her health started to fall, which proved to be internal cancer from which she suffered intensely, but bore it with great patience and willingly submitted to His will as often expressed through her days of sickness, being bedfast for over nine weeks. We trust her prayer and desire to go to that promised home and be with Jesus and those gone before is now her lot.
