This appeared in the Stroudsburg Times newspaper on January 23, 1896 under the heading "Death of a Former Resident" - I know it was in column 3 but I'm not sure if it was the front page or an inside page (I spotted it while browsing microfilm but the printer didn't work)...
"Reuben Weiss died recently at Portland...leaving 28 grandchildren and 21 great grandchildren...resided 60 years in Poplar Valley this county (Monroe, Pa.). In 1830 he married Miss Susan Moyer who died in August 1881.
Sons are listed as John, William, Jacob M., and Lewis; daughters Mrs. S. A. Purday, Mrs. Levi Drake and Mrs. Henry Edinger and a daughter living in Newark."
It isn't verbatim as I had to scribble it, but you can probably get a copy from the microfilm at the Monroe County Historical Society, Stroudsburg, Pa.

The following biographical information was shared by a descendant, Gl en Tiedeman.

Ludwig Moyers

By the Late B. E. Whitney, Washington, D.C.
LUDWIG MEIRER, Mier, Moyers or Myer, was b. in Hesse Cassel, Germany,
Abt. 1750. His name is spelled several different ways in the record s. He emigrated to America in 1775, and settled in Hamilton Twp., Monr oe Co., PA. His wife’s name was CATHERINE. In the Hamilton church recor ds there is the following: July 10, 1782 , baptized Johan Meirer, paren ts Ludwig Meirer and wife Catherine; sponsors Johan Topper and wife Susann a. The family of ‘Lodwick Mier’ was recorded in the census of 1790 as con taining one male above sixteen years, two males under sixteen, and three f emales. The following information is taken from a deed recorded at East on the 3d of April 1794. Ludwig Myer purchased a tract of land from Phil ip Bergstreiser on Feb. 18, 1786. Bergstreiser had obtained this land fr om Frederick Willen. On Apr. 22, 1802 Ludwig Moyers died, and was b ur in the cemetery at Hamilton church. At the time of his death he was l iving in Lower Smithfield Twp.
