Though written in an autobiographical tone, and obviously based on many real-life occurances, the book Papa Married a Mormon is a fictional work set in the fictional Utah towns Adenville and Silverload. The book would be better categorazed as historical fiction.

Thomas Fitzgerald (Papa)

[edit]

The real man based on Papa was Thomas Fitzgerald. He was born in Pennsylvania, June 27, 1851, a son of Thomas and Isabel (Lakays) Fitzgerald, Irish immigrants.

Thomas Fitzgerald became a miner in Idaho, where he also managed a restaurant. In July, 1895, he established his home at Price, Utah. He married Miss Minnie Nielson in 1896, a farmer's daughter. They both died in 1914.

There were six Fitzgerald children:

  • Isabelle, born in September, 1897, became a teacher in Castlegate, Utah;
  • William J., born in February, 1899, and served in the Twenty-first Infantry;
  • Thomas N. (The Great Brain), born in September, 1902 who worked for Price Water;
  • John, born in January, 1906; an author who wrote The Great Brain series
  • Charles E., born in June, 1908;
  • Gerald I., born in January, 1911.
