RETIRED FARMER DIES FRIDAY AT HOME OF HIS SON
John Fitzgerald, 71, retired farmer, who has resided here at 1213 South
Eleventh street for the past nine years, died yesterday at the home of his
son, Joseph in the town of Liberty, where he removed three week ago when he
was taken ill. Burial will take place on Monday morning at 9 o’clock from the
home followed by a requiem high mass at 9:30 from the St. Isadore’s church,

Notes from Osman:
John Fitzgerald, aged 71 years, died Friday afternoon at the home of his son,
Joseph in the Town of Liberty after a sickness of several weeks. The deceased
was born and reared in the Town of Meeme. He was married to Bridget Cain in
1884. They settled on a farm in Meeme where they lived up to nine years ago
when they turned the farm over to their son, Simon (now deceased) and removed
to Manitowoc. About a month ago, Mr. Fitzgerald's health began to fail rapidly
and he was removed to the home of his son, Joseph in Liberty.
John Fitzgerald was an honest man, a good citizen, a kind husband and an indulgent
father. Always he was gentle, kind and loyal. the death of his son, Simon, a few
months ago was a hard blow to him. But the cold fingers of pain and sorrow could
not extinguish the fires of God's love in his heart. The hand of death will reach
for them in vain.
A well rounded man was John Fitzgerald. He rowed in the boat of life every ounce
of his weight and more. His pilgrimage here was worthwhile. He is survived by his
wife and one son, Joseph, two brothers, David of Wausau and Michael of Portland,
Oregon and one sister, Mrs. Margaret Donahue of Newton. The funeral was held Monday
morning from St. Isadore's church and was largely attended. There was a Solemn High
Requiem Mass, Rev. Kersten, celebrant, Rev. Schmit, deacon and Rev. Pritzl, sub
deacon. Interment was in St. Isadore's cemetery.
