Johann Eyer

He never married and remained in Hamilton Township until his death; during his career he taught in Mennonite and Lutheran schools.

[citation needed] Eyer was the eldest son of the family, and in this position presided over the estate of his parents.

Eyer was friends as well with Andreas Kolb, another fraktur artist and Mennonite minister, with whom he exchanged artworks.

Cutting a larger sheet in half lengthwise allowed him to produce a book of musical notation, a skill which he passed on to his pupils as well.

Later in life he also produced hymnal bookplates, baptismal records, and presentation drawings, as well as illustrated poems.
