Minnie Leone, infant daughter of Jerry Fitzgerald and wife, died at their farm home in Sherman township, four miles west of Newton, July 13, 1891; aged 2 years, 4 months and 13 days. The little blossom had never known a well day – having been afflicted from birth with a spinal affection which shortened her earthly career. She was a bright little angel on earth, twining herself all the more closely about hearts of her parents because of her affliction and their knowledge that they must soon give her up. The funeral was from the house last Tuesday. Rev. Griffith conducted the services and the remains were interred in the Miller cemetery. A large number of sympathizing friends attended the obsequies.
