Obituary Collection
Kathleen I. (Fitzgerald) Crampton

Kathleen Isabella Fitzgerald was born in Manchester, England, April 10, 1853 and died Jan. 7, 1923 aged 69 years, 9 months and 27 days.

At the age of 4 years, she moved with her parents to New York City where she lived until 18 years of age, when she moved to Casey, Ia., where she made her home with her brothers.

She was married to Charles J. Crampton at Milan, Ill., June 2, 1881. To this union three sons and a daughter were born; Harold S., Charles W. and Thomas C. and Mary A. Gaudreault, all of whom, with her husband, survive her, to mourn her loss. All reside near Farnam. She also left two brothers one of whom, Robert Fitzgerald, lives here. Death took a brother and sister from her a short time ago.

She joined the Methodist church when a young girl and afterwards joined the Episcopal church of which she was a member at the time of her death.

In 1891 Mrs. Crampton with her family moved to Farnam and have resided here ever since. She was much loved and respected by all who knew her and her death calls one more citizen to her reward whom we can not afford to lose.

The entire community joins with the Echo in expressing to the bereaved family our most heartfelt sympathy and live in the hope that we may all meet again in that beautiful beyond to which we are all journeying.
