John Shindoll
Pioneer Dies Suddenly Last evening John Jacob Shindoll dropped dead at his home, No. 500 Bell street. About 5 o'clock he stepped out into the back yard to go to the barn when he suddenly collapsed and fell to the ground. His daughter, Miss Emma Shindoll and her niece, Miss Mason, found the old gentleman lying in an unconscious condition, and the latter at once notified J.Q. Reed and Isaac Brubaker, who were at work in the I.X.L. barn just north and across the alley. They were soon at the side of the dying man and rendered what assistance they could, but he expired in a few moments. The lifeless body was carried into the house and Dr. Brash, who had been previously summoned, arrived at the home, and after an examination pronounced heart failure as the cause of death. Mr. Shindoll had not been well for two weeks, although he was able to be about and had walked up town to Dr. Brash's office yesterday forenoon. His death came without warning, and was a severe shock to his family. John J. Shindoll was born in Germany in 1828, and came to this country when a boy four years of age, locating in New York state. From there he went to Wisconsin, and when the civil war broke out he enlisted in the Fourth Wisconsin cavalry and served throughout the great rebellion. He came to Nebraska about forty years ago and settled on a farm not far from Plymouth, Jefferson county, where he engaged in farming and stock raising, which occupation he followed until about six years ago when he came to Beatrice. His beloved wife passed away in this city nearly three years ago and since her death Mr. Shindoll worried considerably at times, and his decline was noticeable to members of the family and his nearest friends. He was a man of fine physique, one who always looked on the bright side of everything, of a jovial disposition, and withal a good citizen and neighbor. His death will come as a great surprise to many and will be deplored by his circle of friends here and elsewhere in the state. He leaves four children, three daughters and one son. They are Mrs. H.O. Mason, who resides a few miles west of the city; Mrs. W.W. Ammerman of Plymouth, Walter E. and Emma I. Shindoll, both of Beatrice. Short services will be held at the family home, corner of Fifth and Bell streets, Thursday morning at 9 o'clock. The remains will be taken to Plymouth where the regular service will be held after which interment will occur in the Old Plymouth burial grounds. [The Beatrice Daily Sun, Tuesday, August 16, 1904]

Monroe Shindoll
J.J. Shindoll received a telegram last night announcing the death of his son, Monroe Shindoll at Sutton, Montana. The deceased was about 48 years of age, and as he left home several years ago, his people had not heard from him for some time. The telegram did not state the cause of death.
