Fitzgibbons, Mary Catherine
Former citizen dies; buried here Monday
Miss Mary Catherine Fitzgibbons is laid to rest by the side of father and mother in Fairmount.
Miss Mary Catherine Fitzgibbons, daughter of the late Dan Fitzgibbons and Lucinda Fitzgibbons, died on Friday the 13th at her home in Louisville, following a four months' illness of heart trouble.
Miss Fitzgibbons was born in Central City, but went when quite a child to Louisville, where she completed her education and entered the office of a firm of lawyers of which Mr. Clem Huggins was a partner and held the position of secretary in the same office for more than 30 years.
She was a lovable character, greatly devoted to her family of sisters and brothers.
On August 13th last, whilst walking in Fourth Street, Miss Fitzgibbons realized she was not so well and called on the family physician, who rushed her to St. Joseph Infirmary where she remained until she realized that she might not regain her health and requested to be taken to the home of her sister, Mrs. Annie Kerrick at Kerrick Station, in order to be with her loved ones. She gradually grew weaker and passed away on December 13th, just four months after she was stricken. With her at the end was her entire family.
The funeral was conducted Monday morning from the home of her sister, thence from the Cathedral of the Assumption, and thence to the family lot in Fairmount Cemetery, Central City, where she was laid to rest by the side of her father and mother. The pallbearers were lawyers who had known her during her years of business life in Louisville, and they accompanied the body to Central City. A motorcycle escort of Louisville policemen accompanied the body from Louisville to Central City, and accompanied her family back to Louisville.
Services at the grave were conducted by Rev. Peter Braun, pastor of St. Joseph Church, Central City.
Surviving her are her well-loved sisters and brothers, Mrs. Anne Kerrick of Kerrick Station, near Louisville; Mrs. Margaret Ruf of Louisville and Mrs. Ruth Edwards of Granite City, Ill., and Martin Fitzgibbons of Louisville.
