The death of Mr. Fitzgerald is deeply regretted by many residents of this county, especially in the town of Stockbridge where he spent his boyhood days. He was a son of the late Michael Fitzgerald, one of the pioneers of that town, who for years resided on a farm north of the village on the Military Road. At an early age he removed to Milwaukee where he took up the study of architecture and for many years was one of Milwaukee's prominent architects, drawing plans for many building in that city and elsewhere. Mr. Fitzgerald although possessed of great ability In his line of work was very modest in his claims, but many of the artistic homes of Milwaukee are evidence that he was an architect of no small ability. He was retiring by nature but those who knew him best appreciated his generous, companionable disposition, and his cheery smile and greeting will be sadly missed both from the family circle and also by friends. His remains were brought to this city Friday evening and conveyed to his boyhood home at Stockbridge the funeral taking place on Saturday morning from St. Mary s Catholic church, with burial in the family lot is St. Mary's cemetery. He is survived by one brother, John Fitzgerald of Oconto Falls and five sisters, Mrs. B. McHolland, Mrs. Jas, Maloy and Miss Kate Fitzgerald of Stockbridge, Mrs. J. M. Clark and Miss Agnes Fitzgerald of Milwaukee, all of whom were in attendance at the funeral. Chilton Times January 16, 1915
