FITZGERALD.
Words fail to express the sincere re-
greet with which we are forced to chroni-
Gle the death of Mary Josephine Fitzger-
aid, daughter of A. W. Fitzgerald, of East
Liverpool, Ohio, who was born in Oil
City, Pa. April II, 1896, and died at the
home of her grandparents, Mr., and Mrs.
Solomon Fitzgerald, in Tionests, July 8,
1909. The cause of death Was peritonitis,
an sbscess, which bafIled medical skill,
having formed in the region of the groin
a few days previous to her death, and God
in His infinite wisdom claimed her as
His own at about midnight OF the date
mentioned above. Since a child of three
years of age her home has been with her
grandparents, and throughout those years
she has received the same tender care
that their own daughter would have re-
ceived. To them in advanced years this
death brings a dark shadow and a sor-
row that is hard to endure. Mary was a
girl possessing marked intellectual abil-
ity, as her standing in school proves.
Quick to learn she was equally fortunate
in retaining the knowledge acquired.
Had her life been spared she might have
stood high among those who have passed
out from our public school. Her mind
was easily impressed with religious
truths and as an evidence of the supreme
faith tr~ansplanted in her from her early
teachings, she was numbered among the
few at her age who was a consistent men,
Der of the church militant, having now
donned the robes of the church triumph
ant. A little while before death hushed
her voice forever, she opened her eyes
aud said: SIS this Heaven?" She does
not need to ask that question now for
through the blood of Jesus she has passed
through the pesrly gates, where pain and
sorrow is unknown. Besides her father,
she is survived by her grandparents, an
uncle Samuel Fitzgerald ofNew Castle, an
aunt, Miss Wayne Fitzgerald, who has
been a most affectionate mother to the
motherless. Impressive funeral services
were conducted Sunday afternoon in the
M. E. Church, by her pastor, Rev. w. o.
Calhoun, after which the body, mid a
profusion of fragrant flowers and ming
ling of tears, was laid to rest in beautiful
Riverside Cemetery, there to await the
resurrection OF the just who die in the
Lord.
