The following should have appeared in the Tribune two weeks ago, but owing to one of those unaccountable oversights it chanced to be omitted, as much, if not more, to our regret than any other person:
After an illness of several months Mr. Samuel Fitzsimons, an old and respected resident of Iowa County, died at his farm in the town of Waldwick on the evening of December 28th, last. Deceased was born in Ireland in 1838, and came to America in 1852, settling in Wisconsin.
He married Miss Elizabeth Johnson in 1867. A few years after they settled on a farm in Waldwick Township, where they resided until his death excepting nine or ten months spent in this city. His devoted wife, four sons and two daughters survive him. He was an industrious, kindly honest man and true Christian.
The funeral took place Dec. 31st from Trinity Episcopal church, at which there was a very large attendance, some being present from Belmont and Platteville. The Rector, Rev. M. Chase, made a short address on the life and character of the deceased, and related how on Christmas morning, when the departed brother felt that the end was near, he had read to him the collects, the gospel, and services for Christmas Day, and which brough him the "Peace" of that day. The hymns were those he valued and loved.
