   JOHN FITZGERALD, born September 22, 1848, in the City of New York, is one of
two sons born to Martin and Agnes (Wilson) Fitzgerald. In 1850, with his
parents, he settled in Warrick County, Ind., and lived there until 1871, when he
came to Greene County, where he has since resided. He traces his descent from
Lord Edward Fitzgerald, the famous Irish agitator of 1798. He received a good
education from the high schools of his county and began teaching in Warrick
County, which he continued in Greene County, teaching in all five terms. On
September 5, 1875, he was united in matrimony to Sarah Hagaman, of Greene
County, by whom he is the father of four children, only two of whom, Maud and
Myrtle, are now living. During the years of 1873 and 1874, he read medicine with
Dr. Aydelotte now at Worthington. After his marriage, he farmed until September,
1881, when he began doing a retail drug and grocery business at Marco, carrying
a stock of goods worth about $2,000. Besides this, he carries on farming, and,
taken all in all, is one of the enterprising citizens of Stafford Township. He
is a Democrat in politics, and a member of the I. O. O. F., and never fails to
do his part to aid the charitable institutions of his neighborhood.
