Conestoga Auction Co., a division of the Hess Auction Group in Manheim, Pa., is honored to offer a great selection of items from the collection of the late Jay Moyer of Montgomery County, Pa. Moyer was a public servant and former member of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives. He was also a proud descendant of Mennonite and Schwenkfelder immigrants, who arrived on ships such as the Good Ship Friendship, which docked in the City of Philadelphia in 1729. Jays ancestor, Hans Christian Meyer, along with other early settlers from what is today Switzerland and Germany, finally settled and helped to form the Township of Lower Salford in 1741, formerly part of the County of Philadelphia. Because of his Pennsylvania German heritage, Moyer became particularly interested in the items used in the daily lives of the Pennsylvania German settlers, their pottery, iron, textiles, painted furniture, wood carvings and, of course, their fraktur. In fact, Martin Gottschall, one of Pennsylvanias most important fraktur artists, along with his brother Samuel, were schoolmasters at the small one-room schoolhouse adjacent to the Salford Mennonite Church in Lower Salford Township, where many of Moyers earliest ancestors are buried. Moyer loved attending auctions and did so for more than 50 years. He made numerous friendships and acquaintances in the collecting community. This single-owner sale will be offered live on Saturday, Sept. 28, beginning at 9 a.m. Conestoga Auction Company is located at 768 Graystone Road, Manheim, Pa. It will also be offered on Live Auctioneers and HiBid for live bidding. For further details, visit www.hessauctiongroup.com.
