. . . Zin emuriam 1 a 1 1 I 1 I I i ' NEVIN W. MOYER l Teacher f 1896 - 1946 1 4 Co Gfrz Gfqeol Qilfiezzd You are not dead-Life has but set you free! Your years of life were like a lovely song, The last sweet poignant notes of which, held long, Passed into silence while we listened, We Who loved you, listened still expectantlyl And we about you whom you moved among Would feel that grief for you were surely wrong- You have but passed beyond Where we can see. For us who knew you, dread of age is past! You took life tiptoe, to the very last: lt never lost for you its lovely look: You kept your interest in its thrilling bookg To you, Death came, no conqueror, in the end- You merely smiled to greet another friend!

Zin Memory . . . Mr. Nevin W. Moyer retired from teaching in 1946 after having completed fifty years of service in schools of Pennsylvania, Georgia, Belgium and France. For many years he taught at Lower Paxton. We are now paying tribute to this teacher and great historian. Mr. Moyer was born May 28, 1876, on Running Pump Farm in Lower Paxton Township. He, in his early years, attended school in Linglestown and later furthered his education at Millersville and Lock Haven State Teach- ers' Colleges. His military record has been quite commendable. He took part in such battles as the Linglestown Sham Battle, Spanish American War and World War l. ln France and Belgium he fought in the iront lines in three main drives. Mr. Moyer was quite an authority on local history. He had a private museum in his home which contained thousands of local and national historical objects. His numerous stories were told over and over again: each time being enjoyed by everyone. His death in 1950 came as a shock to his friends and admirers. His memory will linger in the minds of everyone for years to come. 8
