Proprietor of Spinsby's Railway Hotel, Montgomery City, Missouri. For nearly 20 years that name had been familiar to the traveling public along the line of the Wabash Railway through North Missouri, as that of one of the most popular landlords in the hotel business in the state. Mr. Spinsby came to Montgomery City in 1866 and built his present hotel building in which he has carried on the hotel business almost continuously since that time. From the first, his house became a regular stopping place for the trains, and it has continued so ever since. It early acquired the reputation of being the best railway hotel on the road, a reputation it has never ceased to enjoy and deserve. Its proprietor, Mr. Spinsby, started out with the determination to make his hotel popular with the public and justly so. The building was made large and commodious, and exceptionally well adapted by its plan and arrangement for a first-class railway hotel. The local markets were not and have never been relied upon to supply the wants of the table kept at the hotel, but everything of which a beter quality could be bought at distant markets has been brought from such points, regardless of expense. Mr. Spinsby is a typical landlord, a man who knows how to run a hotel with success, in a business point of view, and so as to make it popular with the public. He has made the Spinsby Hotel second in reputation to that of no railway or other hotel outside of a large city in the state. Mr. Spinsby came to America in 1840, where he was engaged in various occupations until 1866 when he came to Mongtomery City. (from The History of Montgomery County, MO)
