Friday, 13 Oct 1905 Volume 39, Number 40 Dies Down in Georgia Frederick A. Spiller, Formerly of This Section and Well Known in Ebensburg, Passes Away on Georgia Cotton Plantation J. G. Lloyd Tuesday morning received a telegram informing him of the sudden death at Fitzgerald, Ga., Monday midnight of his brother-in-law, Frederick A. Spiller. Mr. Spiller had suffered some time from hernia and had recently been working very hard on his plantation which is supposed to have had something to do with his death. Frederick A. Spiller was aged 65 years and was well known to older Ebensburgers and along the Pittsburg division of the PRR. In February, 1875, he was married to Miss Margaret Lloyd, daughter of the late Abel Lloyd and Mrs. Ann Lloyd. His wife survives him with one son, Frederick Lloyd Spiller, who is employed at Heyl, Paterson and Co.'s plant in Pittsburg and daughter, Annie, at home. Mrs. Spiller is a sister of J. G. Lloyd; Mrs. Jennie Rivinius, wife of the Ebensburg Jeweler; Annie, wife of Mathiot Read Esq. and Misses Belle and Mattie at home. Mr. Spiller from about 1884 to 1886 was a Pennsylvania Railroad conductor on the Pittsburg division. From 1886 to 1902 he was ticket and baggage agent at Shadyside, Pittsburg, where he also represented the Adams Express Company. In 1902 he bought a small plantation near Fitzgerald, Ga., which he worked for health and recreation. He was a member of several secret orders. The remains will probably be brought to Ebensburg and placed in Griffith's vault at Lloyd cemetery for future burial. Cambria Freeman, Ebensburg, Pa.

Lloyd of this place, who died at Fitzgerald, Ga., were given temporary interment at Fitzgerald, but will later be brought to this place for burial in Lloyd cemetery. He had been intended to bring the body north immediately but on account of the warm weather down there a temporary burial was found necessary.
