• Notes

  Sylvester Moyer, D. D. S., "was born near Beamsville, Lincoln County, Ontario, February 20th, 1859. He spent his boyhood days on the farm. When about seventeen years of age he attended the High School and in a year thereafter passed the teachers' examination for the province of Ontario. For ten years he was engaged as a public school teacher, after which time he found teaching not altogether to his taste, he resigned his position as principal of the Preston public schools and directed his attention to the profession of dentistry. In due time he received the degree of L. D. S. and soon after the degree of D. D. S. from the Toronto University. Immediately after passing his examinations he bought an established business in Galt, Ontario, where he has since been engaged in his profession and is, according to report, doing an extensive and remunerative business. On October 12th, 1886, he was married to Jennie Hunter. His family consists of two children, namely: Leslie Clare and Alice Maud." Eby, Ezra E. (1895). A biographical history of Waterloo township and other townships of the county: being a history of the early settlers and their descendants, mostly all of Pennsylvania Dutch origin: as also much other unpublished historical information chiefly of a local character. Berlin [Kitchener, Ont.]: [s.n.]. ___________________ Local News Items: Mr. Sylvester Moyer, at one time teacher of the third division of our public school, made a short visit to Elmira last Friday.…Since leaving here Mr. Moyer has abandoned teaching, and has now one of the best dental practices in the progressive town of Galt. Elmira Signet 10 Aug 1893 pg 4 col 2,3 _______________________ "A most interesting personality from Galt history is Dr. Sylvester Moyer, DDS, LDS. While serving as Preston's high school principal, he decided dentistry was his destiny. Completing courses at Toronto, he returned to Galt and from the mid-1880s spent 20 years in practice. To complete a meandering business career, shingle manufacturing next attracted Sylvester. In 1908 and 1911, he ran for Parliament, finishing second to Conservative George Clare." mills, r. (2018).
