Biographical Notes

(Witness) Bio PublishedThomas M. Fitzgerald, is descended from a line of ancestral gardeners, and is very fond of the culture of flowers, which he has made his like-work. He conducts one of the most beautiful gardens in Beaver county, situated in the borough of Beaver, and he has established a reputation as one of the best artists in his profession. He was born in Hulton township, Allegheny county, Pa., February 27, 1868, and is a son of Thomas and Mary (Healey) Fitzgerald.

The father of Thomas M. was born in Listowel, County Kerry, Ireland and when a boy, learned the trade of a gardener and became an expert in the culture of flowers; for nine years he managed the grounds and hothouses of Lord Colliss, of Tarbert township, County Kerry, Ireland; he then engaged with Dr. Barrington, of Glin, County Limerick, Ireland, for fifteen years. He subsequently went to Hamilton, Canada, where he spent two years, and as he had many friends and acquaintances in Pittsburg, Pa., he located there in 1866, and worked for many prominent men of that city, who owned large and handsome properties; he was employed by Mr. Murrdick, Mrs. Denny, and Mr. Charles McGee; he now has charge of Mr. M.C. Miller’s grounds at Turtle Creek. While working in the employ of Lord Colliss, he made the acquaintance of his present wife. Both being poor and not able to buy a home in their native country, Thomas decided to come to America in the effort to seek home and fortune; his plans being crowned with success, three years later he wrote for his intended wife, and, upon her arrival here, they were happily united in marriage. A few years later the health of Mr. Fitzgerald’s mother began to fail, and he sent his wife and five children to his old home in Ireland, where they remained four years, --- returning in much better health and spirits. Mr. and Mrs. Fitzgerald are the parents of eight children: Joseph, deceased; John; Thomas M.; James; Annie; Mary; Edward, who served at Manila in Company B, 10th Reg., Pa. Vol. Inf.; and William, deceased.

The subject of this memoir attended school, for years, at Tarbert, Ireland, and in this country, at New Castle, Pennsylvania. While a mere boy, he assisted his father in the cultivation of flowers and improved every opportunity to gain a thorough knowledge of the art; in 1889, he came to Beaver to take charge of the beautiful grounds and hothouse of Hon. J.F. Dravo, but a year later he leased the hothouse, and a part of the grounds, of his employer, and now keeps one of the finest displays of flowers ever seen. The beds and plants are artistically arranged, and the choice, blooming flowers present an exquisite appearance; he is prepared to furnish flowers, on short notice, for funerals, weddings, and other occasions, and his also ships largely to other points. Mr. Fitzgerald is well deserving, and worthy of his large patronage, and he has shown the people of the vicinity that they always have at their command the most select assortment of floral beauties. He is genial and accommodating to all, and his pleasant manners and honest business methods, have won for him the esteem and good will of all who known him. He has not only adopted Beaver as his place of business, but likewise as his home, and he owns two fine lots on Commerce street, upon which he erected a handsome resident in 1893. In July, 1899, he purchased the Campbell estate, consisting of six and one-half acres on Fifth street, on which he will erect a large range of greenhouses to better accommodate his growing business.

Mr. Fitzgerald wedded Nora, a daughter of Jeremiah Minihan, of County Cork, Ireland, and three children have resulted from their union: Mary Catherine, born July 16, 1896; John Leo, born February 23, 1898; and Joseph Thomas, the last two being twins. Religiously, our subject is a member of the Catholic church; politically, his is independent in his views.

(II) Thomas Fitzgerald, son of John and Mary (Conway) Fitzgerald, was born in County Kerry, Ireland, 1846, and came to the United States at the age of twenty-five years. The greater part of his life has been spent in and in the vicinity of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where he was in the employ of wealthy families as a gardener. He came to Beaver County, Pennsylvania, in 1885, resided there three years, then removed to Dixmont, where he remained for a time, and finally settled in Beaver permanently ten years ago.

He has always been identified with business as a florist, and has achieved a more than satisfactory amount of success. He came to Beaver county, Pennsylvania, with a fortune consisting of one hundred dollars and from this small beginnings has attained his present prosperity, owing to his indefatigable energy, his perseverance and his excellent business methods. At first he leased the Dravo place, remaining in that location for a period of eight years. By this time he had amassed a sufficient capital to enable him to purchase the Campbell place on Fifth street. At first he devoted the greater part of his time in raising vegetables, but later turned his attention to floriculture. At the present time he has six men constantly in his employ, and at times is obliged to add to this number. He is called upon to fill orders for all parts of the United States, the superiority of his product having become recognized far and wide.

Bio Obit*On June 5th, 1884, Patrick Joseph Fitzgerald, aged 18 years, 11 months, and 5 days, oldest son of Thomas and Mary Fitzgerald.

Gone from earth! Yes, gone forever.
Tear-dimmed eyes shall gaze in vain.
We shall hear his voice, oh never,
Never more on earth again.
Home is sad, O God, how dreary;
Lonely, lonely every sopt,
Listening for his voice till weary,
Weary for we hear it not.
God of love, send us some token
From the spirit-world above.
That these hearts, all crushed and broken;
May be healed with heavenly love.

Research Comment*Its assumed this is the same person as the Patrick Joseph (P.J.) Fitzgerald buried in St Mary's Catholic Church Cemetery in Alexandria, Virginia. Birth dates, parents names and first born are the same and the Alexandria obit mentions he's from Pittsburgh. The date of death is off one day from that expected.

Research Notes

Research Comment*Unable to locate Rose or Thelma Fitzgerald in either the 1920 nor 1940 censuses. In 1920 they would have been children and are not listed with their parents in Erie, Erie Co., Pennsylvania. For a period of time in their childhood, when their father fell on hard times, they were taken in by the Benedictine sisters in Erie. This is likely where they were and were not captured in the census.
In 1940 Rose Fitzgerald McManus and her daughter would have been living with her sister Thelma at 1404 W 30th Street in Erie. None of them appear to be captured in the 1940 census and the West 30th Street home appars to have been skipped.; Principal=Ruth Thelma Fitzgerald

"PRAYER FOR PEACE
Lord, make me an instrument of
your peace; Where there is hatred,
let me sow love: Where there is in-
jury, pardon; Where there is doubt,
faith; Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
Where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master, grant that I
may seek not so much to be consoled
as to console; to be understood
as to understand; to be loved as to
love: for it is in giving that we receive;
it is in pardoning that we are
pardoned, and it is in dying that we
are born to eternal life. Amen "10

Bio Published*Thomas M. Fitzgerald, is descended from a line of ancestral gardeners, and is very fond of the culture of flowers, which he has made his like-work. He conducts one of the most beautiful gardens in Beaver county, situated in the borough of Beaver, and he has established a reputation as one of the best artists in his profession. He was born in Hulton township, Allegheny county, Pa., February 27, 1868, and is a son of Thomas and Mary (Healey) Fitzgerald.

The father of Thomas M. was born in Listowel, County Kerry, Ireland and when a boy, learned the trade of a gardener and became an expert in the culture of flowers; for nine years he managed the grounds and hothouses of Lord Colliss, of Tarbert township, County Kerry, Ireland; he then engaged with Dr. Barrington, of Glin, County Limerick, Ireland, for fifteen years. He subsequently went to Hamilton, Canada, where he spent two years, and as he had many friends and acquaintances in Pittsburg, Pa., he located there in 1866, and worked for many prominent men of that city, who owned large and handsome properties; he was employed by Mr. Murrdick, Mrs. Denny, and Mr. Charles McGee; he now has charge of Mr. M.C. Miller’s grounds at Turtle Creek. While working in the employ of Lord Colliss, he made the acquaintance of his present wife. Both being poor and not able to buy a home in their native country, Thomas decided to come to America in the effort to seek home and fortune; his plans being crowned with success, three years later he wrote for his intended wife, and, upon her arrival here, they were happily united in marriage. A few years later the health of Mr. Fitzgerald’s mother began to fail, and he sent his wife and five children to his old home in Ireland, where they remained four years, --- returning in much better health and spirits. Mr. and Mrs. Fitzgerald are the parents of eight children: Joseph, deceased; John; Thomas M.; James; Annie; Mary; Edward, who served at Manila in Company B, 10th Reg., Pa. Vol. Inf.; and William, deceased.

The subject of this memoir attended school, for years, at Tarbert, Ireland, and in this country, at New Castle, Pennsylvania. While a mere boy, he assisted his father in the cultivation of flowers and improved every opportunity to gain a thorough knowledge of the art; in 1889, he came to Beaver to take charge of the beautiful grounds and hothouse of Hon. J.F. Dravo, but a year later he leased the hothouse, and a part of the grounds, of his employer, and now keeps one of the finest displays of flowers ever seen. The beds and plants are artistically arranged, and the choice, blooming flowers present an exquisite appearance; he is prepared to furnish flowers, on short notice, for funerals, weddings, and other occasions, and his also ships largely to other points. Mr. Fitzgerald is well deserving, and worthy of his large patronage, and he has shown the people of the vicinity that they always have at their command the most select assortment of floral beauties. He is genial and accommodating to all, and his pleasant manners and honest business methods, have won for him the esteem and good will of all who known him. He has not only adopted Beaver as his place of business, but likewise as his home, and he owns two fine lots on Commerce street, upon which he erected a handsome resident in 1893. In July, 1899, he purchased the Campbell estate, consisting of six and one-half acres on Fifth street, on which he will erect a large range of greenhouses to better accommodate his growing business.

Mr. Fitzgerald wedded Nora, a daughter of Jeremiah Minihan, of County Cork, Ireland, and three children have resulted from their union: Mary Catherine, born July 16, 1896; John Leo, born February 23, 1898; and Joseph Thomas, the last two being twins. Religiously, our subject is a member of the Catholic church; politically, his is independent in his views.
