JUDGE FITZGERALD DIES SUDDENLY IN BOSTON



    One of the most lovable men of the west passed to the beyond Wednesday, 

August 31, when Adolphus L. FITZGERALD, a resident of Eureka, Nevada, and 

one of the most noted Masons of the United States, died in Boston, 

Massachusetts.

    Judge FITZGERALD recently went east to visit at the home of his son and 

seemed to be in his usual good health and the news of his demise brings a 

shock of sorrow to Nevada.  He was 81 years old and dean of the supreme 

consistory of the Thirty-third De-Scottish Rite Masonry for the Southern 

District of the United States.

    He was born in North Carolina, served with the Confederate Army 

throughout the Civil War, and at its conclusion became professor of Latin 

and Greek at Pacific Methodist College, then at Vacaville, Cal.

    He was Chief Justice of Nevada in 1894 and was the leader of the Silver 

Party in the first Bryan campaign of 1896.  He was past grand master of the 

Masonic Grand Lodge of Nevada.  A son and a daughter survive him.
