Judge W.W. Fitzgerald after a long illness, passed away peacefully to rest on Wednesday at his home at London, Ont. Deceased filled the office of county judge of Welland county for several years, and until ill-health prevented, about two years ago. After leaving here he spent some time in Virginia, partially recovering his health; and for the past year he has been in London. He had a stroke about a month ago, the results finally proving fatal. He was a prominent Orangeman and Forester. His widow, two sons-Dr. Fitzgerald of New York City, and C.E.T. Fitzgerald, practicing law at Winnipeg-and one daughter, Miss Amy, survive. Judge Fitzgerald had a wide circle of warm friends in Welland County, who deeply regret his demise.
Since the above was in type we learn that late William Weir Fitzgerald was appointed county judge of Welland on April 3, 1893, and nominally held the office until September 8, 1903, when his successor, Judge Wells, was appointed. For the last eighteen months his health was so bad that the office was filled by T.D. Cowper , who was appointed deputy judge for that purpose.
