J.J. Fitzgerald (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

  • pennylrichardsca (now at ipernity) said:
    Might be John Joseph Fitzgerald (1872-1952), lawyer, US Representative from NY (7th district) from 1903-1917? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_J._Fitzgerald bioguide.congress.gov/scripts/biodisplay.pl?index=F000165 The name and initials are pretty common, though. And this guy looks older than his forties.

    pennylrichardsca - I had a look at the uncompressed image through at the Persistent URL. The ribbon reads: "MEMBER ANNUAL OUTING ((portrait in circular vignette )) TIMOTHY D. SULLIVAN ASSOCIATION [ ILLEGIBLE ] POINT " Timothy Danial Sullivan was a big wheel Tammany Hall politician who died in 1913. According to the NYT of December 24, 1913 , " It was announced also last night that the Timothy D. Sullican Association, which was recently incorporated, had as its objective the carrying out of the benevolent work of the late "Big Tim"." (ref. query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=980DE3DB173DE633A... ) However, there are references to the Timothy D Sullivan Association which far predate 1913, including this one from 1897 about an outing to College Point: query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9A0CE0DB1E39E433A... The portrait on the ribbon appears to be that of Big Tim Sullivan. Either him, or a very manly looking woman. Can't shed any light on who J. J. Fitzgerald is.

    Big Tim was killed by a train locomotive in 1913 -- how likely is that? Politics was a messy business back then. I think pennylrichardsca has the right guy -- here's another picture from about the same time: cgi.ebay.com.my/1913-photo-FITZGERALD-JOHN-J-REP-FROM-NY-...

    Funeral of "Big" Tim Sullivan, at old St. Patrick's, Mott Street, New York, on September 15, 1913.

    Wystan, Thanks for the info on this image and the others of the funeral of 'Big Tim' Sullivan. We will update this record as well as the other related images to reflect the details.

Sullivan funeral - Bowery (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

  • Wystan said:
    LOC -- "Bowery" should be capitalized.
  • Kristi (LOC P&P) said:
    Wystan, Thanks for the heads up! We will fix that when we update.
