The Earnests note that "Eyer's artistic influence spread so wide, it is sometimes difficult to determine what was his work and what should be attributed to others." However, he rarely made birth and baptismal certificates. (See Earnest, pp. 135-6.)
Eyer, a Lutheran, spent most of his forty-year teaching career in Mennonite schools in Bucks and neighboring counties. One of his pupils was Mennonite fraktur artist David Kulp .
