      THOMAS J. FITZGERALD, who is telegraph operator and also clerk for the State
  Line & Sullivan Railroad Company, at Bernice, was born at Wyalusing, Bradford
  county, Pennsylvania, July 6, 1874. He is the son of John and Nancy (Donahue)
  Fitzgerald, the former of whom was born at Pottsville and the latter in Bradford
  county. They now reside at New Albany, this state, where the father is foreman
  of a railroad section. Besides our subject they have four children: Ella M.,
  Anna B. and Gertrude are at home with their parents; and John B. is an agent of
  the Lehigh Valley Railroad Company.
  
      Our subject attended school until eleven years of age, when he became clerk
  in a country store in Bradford county, where he remained two years. He was then
  employed as an extra operator and station agent at various points, among them
  Wilkesbarre, Buffalo, etc., finally accepting a position with the Lehigh Valley
  Railroad Company, with which he remained ten years. He was sent to Bernice
  October 11, 1893, for that company, and worked for it until July 6, 1898, when
  he accepted his present position.
  
      Mr. Fitzgerald was married at Bernice, June 18, 1895, to Miss Jennie T.
  McDonald, and they have two children - John D. and Thomas. Mrs. Fitzgerald was
  born in Dushore, April 8, 1872, and is the daughter of John and Julia (Sheridan)
  McDonald, the former a native of England and the latter of Sullivan county. Mr.
  McDonald came to America with his parents when he was four years old and has
  lived in Sullivan county ever since. He removed from Bernice to Dushore in 1881.
  The following children have been born to this worthy couple: Andrew, an
  iron-molder in Towanda, Pennsylvania; Kate, who married Frank Farrell and lives
  at Dushore; Mary, who married Daniel Clark, of Cortez, this state; Julia, who
  married Richard Clark and lives in Marquette, Michigan; Rudy, the wife of John
  Dailey, of Mildred, Pennsylvania; Clark, who is unmarried and lives at Cortez,
  this state; Jennie, wife of our subject; and Mildred, Florence, and Lawrence are
  at home.
  
      Mr. Fitzgerald is one of the most promising young men in his community,
  being intelligent, industrious and thrifty in all his habits, and is very
  popular with all classes of good society. He is a member of the Catholic church
  and a Republican in his political views.
