MRS. HARRIET FITZGERALD

	Committal services for Mrs. Harriet Fitzgerald who died in the home of her
brother, George Thresher, in Benton Harbor, on Wednesday evening, were conducted
this morning in the family lot in Silverbrook cemetery by the Rev. Harry L.
Nicholson, rector of Trinity Episcopal church.  Mrs. Fitzgerald was the widow of
Porter Fitzgerald, of Niles.  Her brother, George Thresher, of Benton Harbor,
and Mrs. Helen Fitzgerald Beech, of Chicago, a sister of the late Porter
Fitzgerald, attended the committal services.  Mrs. Fitzgerald was a member of
one of Benton Harbor’s oldest families.  Her father, the late J.P. Thresher, was
one of the first editors of The Palladium.  The old Thresher homestead, was
presided over by the late Mrs. Fitzgerald following the death of her mother. 
The deceased was married to Porter B. Fitzgerald and the couple lived in Chicago
until the time of Mr. Fitzgerald’s death, when Mrs. Fitzgerald moved to
Syracuse, N.Y. to reside with her only daughter, Mrs. Campfield Leonard. 
Another brother, Frank L. Thresher, of Minneapolis, also survives.  The body
will be placed beside that of her husband who was the son of Col. T.J.
Fitzgerald of Niles, a well known pioneer[sic] of Berrien County.




Additional Comments:
[It appears that Porter B. Fitzgerald was the son of Jerome B. Fitzgerald and
was the grandson of TJ Fitzgerald.  Found in 1920 Federal Census living in Los
Angeles.  Porter is buried at Silverbrook but I have not located death record or
obit.]
