Moses David Troyer

Moses Troyer was born in Holmes Co., Ohio, Sept, 29, 1850; died at his home near Limon, Colo., Sept. 25, 1928, after a lingering illness of about a year's duration; aged 77 y. 11 m. 27 d. In March 1872, he was married to Katherine J. Yoder. To this union were born 7 sons and 2 daughters. His wife and 3 sons (Jacob, David, and John) preceded him in death. He is survived by 4 sons (Moses, Middlefield, Ohio; Chris, Millersburg, Ind.; Daniel and Joseph, Limon, Colo.), and 2 daughters (Mrs. Albert Miller and Mrs. Catherine (Reuben) Yutzy of Limon, Colo.). In early life he united with the Amish Mennonite Church and later in life with the Mennonite Church, in which he lived a faithful and consistent life until his sudden departure. He purchsed land in Limon in Nov. 1909, and moved there in March 1910 from Dodge City, Kansas. It was largely through the influence and material liberality of the departed brother that the Limon Mennonite Church was built. The very ground upon which the church stands and in which he finds his final earthly resting place was donated by him to the church. He was one of the charter members in 1922 of the Limon Mennonite Church, a kind neighbor, a staunch friend, and a faithful Christian father. Funeral services were conducted at the Limon Mennonite Church by Bro. L. C. Miller, assisted by Bro. Paul Hooley. Text, 11 Tim. 4:7
