Death Sounds Summons in Local Homes

Mrs. George Shindorf, Patient Sufferer for Years Is Called To Reward.

Death came as a welcome relief to Mrs. Lillian Shindorf, aged 73 years who has
for the past two years and more made her home with her daughter, Mrs. Charles
Breimayer, south of this city.  Mrs. Shindorf was the widow of the late George
Shindorf, who passed away about four years ago and with her husband was one of
the pioneer settlers in the Miriam community.

For many years they resided on the old farm on M-66 and were among the well
known and highly esteemed people of the country, numbering their friends only by
the number of people with whom they became acquainted, for to know either Mr.
and Mrs. Shindorf was to like them and list them among your friends.  Mrs.
Shindorf was the mother of a large family, but this did not confine her efforts
to her home alone and she was to be found where ever help was needed and her
ministrations and kindly visits in the old days – days before the telephone,
automobiles and other modern conveniences – when the helping hand of a neighbor
meant much, are such that her memory will linger long with those who knew her
during the days when she was able to take her part in life.

Up until the time of the death of her husband she lived on the old farm and
afterward went to live with her only surviving daughter, Mrs. Charles Breimayer,
and there during the more than two years she has been with her daughter, she has
been kindly looked after and well cared for.  For many years she has been an
invalid, confined to a wheel chair and in need of almost constant attention but
she was the type of mother which made it a pleasant duty for a daughter to care
for and she has had the best of attention and care during the time she lived
with her daughter.

Surviving are the daughter, Mrs. Charles Breimayer and eight sons, as follows:
Frank, Leopold, Ben, Leo, Fred, Peter, Edward and Louis, all living in or near
the Miriam community.

Funeral services were held on Monday morning from St. Mary Catholic church, with
Rev. Fr. Lawrence L. Dorr officiating and burial was in the cemetery there.  A
large concourse of people attended the services as a tribute of their honor and
respect in the timely passing of an old friend.
