EDMUND FITZGERALD
DIED JUNE 16, 1844
AGED 41 YEARS AND 10 MONTHS
Requiescat in pace"
According to the custodian at Old St. Patrick's, the Fitzgeralds entombed here are forbears of President John Fitzgerald Kennedy, whose maternal great-great grandparents were Ellen (nee Wilmouth) Fitzgerald and Michael Fitzgerald. Ellen and Michael's son Thomas (1835-1885) was the father of famed Boston politician "Honey Fitz", President Kennedy's maternal grandfather. The Edmund Fitzgerald interred here may be a collateral ancestor. In 1999 the New York memorial service for JFK, Jr. was held at Old St. Patrick's, a choice which may reflect ancestral connections to this historic church.
