General Notes: Husband - Robert Fitzgerald

---

When he was but sixteen years of age he was employed in a freight house at Toledo, Ohio, and for two years held a position with the steamship com­pany owning the boats plying between Buf­falo and Duluth. When the oil discoveries were making Pennsylvania the cynosure of the financial world, he caught the fever and pros­pected in Plumer, Pit Hole, Rouseville, Pe­trolia and other localities in the region in which the strikes were being made, but with only moderate success. In 1881 he moved to Four Mile, New York, where he remained until 1891, while there forming the Howe Oil Company, which from the date of its corpora­tion proved a remarkable financial success. On May 6, 1909, he moved to Bradford, Pennsylvania, where his death oc­curred.
