Yesterday morning, Michael Spindler, a well known shoemaker, died suddenly at his home, 316 South Fifth street. For the past two or three years, he had suffered from an aggravated attack of the grip, but had recently appeared to be in unusually good health.
Yesterday morning, he ate a hearty breakfast, and was very cheerful in the family circle. He did an unusual amount of work in the early part of the forenoon, and at 10 o'clock, when he went to a basin to wash his hands, he was struck with an apopletic fit, and fell to the floor.
His condition was discovered by his neighbor, Mr. Pfirman, who assisted him to his room and notified the members of the family, who were absent from home. He died at 11 o'clock, passing away peacefully, without any indications of suffering.
He had lived in the city for the past forty-three years, and was universally respected. He was a good citizen: modest and retiring in ways and manners, and his numerous acquaintances have only the kindest tribute to his memory.
Surviving him are his widow, who is the manager of the Spindler News company; his two daughters: Mrs. John A. Fisher and Miss Fredericka Spindler, of this city; and his two sons, Albert and Louis Spindler, of Chicago.
The sudden summons is a severe blow, and sad affliction to his devoted family, and they surely will find the warmest sympathy extended in trying affliction.
The family has long been affiliated with the Cathedral of St. John, and the deceased was a worthy member of Red Cross Lodge, No. 44, Knights of Columbus.
The funeral will probably take place at the Cathedral of St. John Tuesday, at an hour to be announced later.

Albert and Louis Spindler came down from Chicago to attend the funeral of their father, Michael Spindler. They are excellent young men, and both are doing well in the Lake City. Their old friends, while truly sympathizing with their sad mission here, give them a hearty greeting to their old home in the city.

The funeral of the late Michael Spindler at the Cathedral of St. John, yesterday afternoon, attracted a very large attendance. His more than thirty years' residence in this city had brought him in contact with many people, hence there was a large gathering of acquaintance, to show the last tributes of respect.
The pall bearers were from his lodge: Red Cross No. 44, Knights of Pythias; and a goodly number of the order and its auxiliary, the Rathbone Sisters, attended in respective bodies (groups.)
The office for the burial of the dead was said in a most impressive manner by Reverend W. H. Moore, Dean of the Cathedral, and in the absence of the surpliced choir, the singing of the beautiful funeral hymn by the congregation, led by Mrs. Dow R. Gwinn, was a comforting feature in the solemn services.
The remains were escorted to Woodland cemetery by the Knights of Pythias, and were followed by a long procession of carriages. After the commitment to the grave by Dean Moore, the closing services were from the beautiful ritual of the order to which he belonged, and which exemplifies at all times, the three grand cardinal principles: Friendship, Charity, and Benevolence.

Additional: A Mrs. Michael Spindler had a classified ad in January 1885 for a "general news depot," selling leather albums, birthday cards, stationery, and "writing materials." The shop was at 19 North Sixth street in Quincy, Illinois. A briefer ad from January 1884 advertised the selling of English and German language magazines and newspapers. In November 1883, an ad with the same address touted the sales of photographic and autograph albums, scrapbooks, stereoscopic views, and ink stands. In December 1883, Christmas and New Year cards as well as toys and dolls were listed for sale, at "Mrs. Michael Spindler's," 19 North Sixth.
