Samuel Spitler, son of Isaac Spitler, one of the early settlers of Page County, Virginia, was born Dec. 13, 1825, and died Oct. 23, 1898, aged seventy-two years, ten months and twenty days. He was the father of thirteen children, of whom fived died in infancy, the others are among the best and most influential citizens of their community. While Eld. Spitler was a successful business man and farmer, he also spent much time in his Master’s service. He knew every wagon-road and footpath leading across the Blue Ridge Mountains for a distance of more than twenty-five miles. He made many of his journeys on horseback, yet, seemingly, he never got tired in the service of the Lord. He performed the marriage ceremony for more than two thousand couples, but never accepted one cent for his services. He did not think, however, that a minister was necessarily debarred from taking money for his services. Not only did Eld. Spitler give of his time for the good of the church, but he also helped the church to bear her financial burdens. On Sunday, Oct. 23, 1898, his son, Doctor Spitler, preached. At the close of the sermon Eld. Spitler arose to announce a hymn. While speaking of the power and influence of music in the lives of men, a change suddenly came over him. While saying: “Brethren, I am giving away,” he fell to the floor and died almost instantly from heart failure. The funeral was held on Tuesday following. Eld. Martin Rothgeb preached the sermon, based on the words, “If a man die, shall he live again” (Job 14: 14)? Elders Joseph Foster and J. B. F. Hoffman also made appropriate remarks. Interment in the Mt. Zion cemetery. D. Walter Strickler. Luray, Va.
