The Ionia Sentinel-Standard, Wednesday, November 5, 1930

The home in North Plains township which had been the home of William J. 
Fitzgerald for 42 years, was filled with friends and neighbors Monday for his 
funeral service conducted by Rev. John McGinnis, of Middleton, a former pastor 
in the North Plains community church.  Mr. McGinnis was called to officiate at 
these rites because Mr. Fitzgerald had so often expressed his love for the 
minister.

Of those attending the services were persons born in the vicinity after Mr. 
Fitzgerald had come there to live and who had grown to maturity and middle age 
during his residence on the same farm.  The bearers were E. Elvert, G. B. 
Brigham, B. F. Dalzell, Coral Estep, Elmer Brigham, and Mose Merrithew.

Mr. Fitzgerald was a native of New York and came to Michigan in 1871 when 20 
years of age.  He was a member of the Gleaner lodge and of the north Plains 
church. He leaves the widow, to whom he was married 42 years ago and a son, L. 
J. Fitzgerald.
