| Commentaires : | From the estate of B.W. Moyer. These stencils were used by Isaac Moyer in his trade as a house painter and chair decorator. |
| Fonctions : | B.W. (Benjamin) Moyer was the son, of Isaac Moyer (son of Samuel B. Moyer and Magdelena Houser Moyer) and Esther Weber (daughter of Benjamin and Nancy Shantz Weber. Isaac Moyer was a painter and Benjamin followed in his footsteps. Issac Moyer was born in Clinton township, Lincoln County near Jordon on March 10, 1836. In November of 1859, Isaac came to Waterloo and worked for Amos Schwartz where he learned the painting business. On the eleventh of February, 1862 he married Esther. In 1875 they moved to Rosetahl (Rosedale), near Bloomingdale where they worked in farming and market gardening. They then moved to Bloomingdale where they purchased a property with a white brick house and an old shop. It was in this shop that Isaac and his son Benjamin began the business of carriage and chair painting. The stencils were used in the latter endeavor. Esther died on April 7th, 1886 and on October 3rd, 1886, Isaac married Sara Schneider, daughter of Jacob E. and Elizabeth (Clemens) Schneider. After Isaac's death, Benjamin changed the name of the shop from the Carriage Painter's Shop, to B.W. Moyer's Broom Factory and continued his father's business of painting and paper hanging, in addition to making brooms. At this time he also engaged in wood graining and was able to reproduce many types. He continued the business (despite ill health from a childhood bout with typhoid fever and a difficulty with walking after a fall from a silo while painting) with his brother, Simeon well into the 1930s. |
