Daughter of David and Kate Married John in Ireland in 1838 with 10 children born of this union. Freeman's Journal (Sydney, NSW : 1850 - 1932) Sat 9 Mar 1901 Tumut. Death. — The many friends of Mrs. Fitzgerald, of Tumut, will regret to hear of her demise, which took place at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. W. Masters, on the 12th ult. lamented by all that knew her, and fortified by the rites of the Church. The subject of my notice was the relict of the late Mr. John Fitzgerald, of 'The Springs ' who pre-deceased her in 1891, and was born near Bruffy in the County Limerick, Ireland, upwards of 85 years ago. Immediately after her marriage in 1838, she and her late husband immigrated for Australia, landing at Sydney in the early part of 1839, where they Bojourned for a short period, and then wended their way to this locality, which they made their future home. When the late Mrs Fitzgerald arrived in this locality, it was then the principal police station outside Yass in the Southern districts, However, not a house then stood on the present site of the town of Tumut,and the flourishing towns of Albury, Gundagai, Adelong, and Wagga Wagga were not in existence. The nearest church, school, hotel, and store were those located at Yass. over 60 miles away, where at that period resided the late Father Lovatt, who periodically visited his flock on horseback in the surrounding country. My deceased friend was an intelligent and well-read woman, particularly in the language and literature of her nativeland, and was religious and devoted admirer of the Catholic Church. She was the mother of a family of ten children, seven boys and three girls ; many of those pre-deceased her. However, perhaps the best known member of the family is Mr. IS A. Fitzgerald, J P., of Wagga Wagga, a successful grazier and vigneron, who as far back as the sixties and seventies was connected with the literary staff of the late Goulburn Chronicle and Gundagai Times. The death of the old lady has removed from our midst a well-known figure, a connecting link between the past and present, covering a space of 62 years She was laid to rest in the Catholic portion of our cemetery, and the Rev Father Dwyer performed the last rites for the dead. The chief mourners at the grave were her ever faithful son, Mr. E. A. Fitzgerald, of Wagga Wagga, and Mrs. W. Masters. Requiescat in pace . |
