Mr. Fitzsimmons was born in the state of New York, Allegany Co., May 10, 1833. His early life was spent on a farm, but wishing to learn a trade at the age of 22 he went to Dundee, N.Y., where he learned the miller’s trade. At the age of 23, he came to Ionia County, Michigan, where he has resided ever since, being one of the early pioneers. He was married June 28, 1864, to Mrs. Harriet Louise Gleason, a widow with a son and two daughters. From this marriage were two children, Ida and Walter, both living. For 23 years he was a miller in the City Mills, a man well known and respected by all who knew him. He was upright, honest, and best known for his kindness to his own home. He was patient in his affliction and ready and willing to die. Two brothers, Calvin and Walter survive him, and while the children mourn the loss of a kind father, the wife a dear companion, the community mourn for one who has been upright in his dealings and when we consigned to him to his last resting place, we said “Peace to his soul.” File at: http://files.usgwarchives.net/mi/ionia/obits/f/fitzsimm3225nob.txt This file has been created by a form at http://www.genrecords.net/mifiles/ File size: 1.7 Kb
