Married Sophia Kate Farrington in 1869. Father of Catherine H. Fitzhardinge, Grantley Berkely Fitzhardinge, Augustus Clive B. Fitzhardinge, and Harry Berkeley Fitzhardinge. MR. H. B. FITZHARDINGE A few years after the death of Mr. A. G. Jones, Wagga lost another good and highly esteemed citizen under extremely tragic circumstances, when Mr. H, B. Fitzhardinge was killed on the railway line on Saturday, April 8, 1893. He was crossing the line on his way home when he was struck by a truck attached to the paper train and knocked down. the truck passed over his body and head. and he must have been instantly killed. The men in charge of the train (which was shunting) did not discover what had happened until an hour later. The news of the fatality came as a painful shock to the whole community, as Mr. Fitzhardinge was barely 50 years of age, and was widely known and personally popular in al1 parts of the district. He had been Mayor of the town and for many years was regarded as the natural leader in all public movements for the benefit of the community and the State. He had been for 27 years a resident of the town, in which he practiced his profession as a solicitor. He was a member of a distinguished New South Wales family. He retired from the position of Mayor and Alderman in 1890, and on that occasion the newly elected Mayor (M. C. H. Croaker) proposed: "That the members of the Council desire to express their regret and the retirement of Mr. Fitzhardinge from the position of alderman and to offer to him their congratulations on the ability and dignity which have characterized his conduct during ibis tenure of office." The motion was seconded by Alderman Coleman and carried by acclamation. in the course of his reply Mr. Fitzhardinge said he had been just on 21 years associated with the municipal work of the town and he was beginning to feel a little tired of it. After he had had a few years of repose he might again come forward to give them some assistance in the civic management of that town. Messages of sympathy with the Fitzhardinge family were received from the premier of the day (Sir George Dibbs) and from Sir George Reid, which deplored the loss of so "eminent a fellow citizen." Sir George Dibbs sent a wreath " as a slight tribute to a singularly good and true man." Mr. H. B. Fitzhardinge was a son of the well known Sydney legal practitioner, Mr. W.G.A. Fitzhardinge, and a brother of Mr. District Court Judge G. H. Fitzhardinge. His other brothers were all solicitors — Mr. J. Fred and M. A. H. Fitzhardinge, Sydney; Mr. Craven Fitzhardinge, Dubbo; and Mr. Morton Fitzhardinge Glen Innes. Mr. Fitzhardinge came to Wagga as a young man of 23, and went into partnership with Mr. George Coleman for six years. After that he practiced on his own account and soon achieved a prominent position, doing a great deal of work in connection with difficult land matters. Mr. Fitzhardinge left a wife and four children. The funeral was the largest that had been seen in Wagga up to that time. All classes attended, as did representatives of all the different churches, the volunteers (in which he was captain), The polo club, the municipal council, and other bodies, all of which went wreaths and messages of condolence. The funeral service was conducted in the Church of England cemetery by the Rev. Dean Pownall. "Men of the Past" Daily Advertiser (Wagga Wagga, NSW) Wednesday, 10 Oct 1928, Page 8 |

| - Notes: Land subdivision and sale involved many legal transactions, so members of the legal profession found much to do in Wagga Wagga in the 1860s and 1870s. Harry Berkeley Fitzhardinge, for example, was a member of a family legal firm with headquarters in Sydney and offices in Wagga Wagga, Dubbo and Glen Innes where land was rapidly being subdivided. He arrived in Wagga Wagga in 1866 at the age of twenty-three and practised until he was killed by a shunting train in 1893. As he matured he became one of the community's leaders, serving as an alderman for several years, being elected Mayor on several occasions and often presiding at one or other of the many local meetings.
p158 H. B. Fitzhardinge said at the meeting on 15 March 1889 which formed the Wagga Wagga branch of this Association that it was needed to act in the case of elections. The Freetrade party had not been in any way organised in the electorate at the last election... one of its duties would be to establish communications with the Association in Sydney, so that if it were necessary to send up a candidate. a man would be chosen for the purpose, who would be approved of by the people of the district. Further to prove his point, he stressed that the lack of such an organization had prevented him as a 'staunch Freetrader' from pressing the Freetrade cause at the recent elections; indeed, he had signed the requisition for Mr D. Copland, although that gentleman was a Protectionist, because he believed him to be a good local man.'»s So the branch was formed, and Fitzhardinge and Halloran represented it at the first and last annual conference of the New South Wales Association later that year. In succeeding months the branch brought speakers like B. R. Wise to address public meetings on Freetrade, and was active at the important 1891 election although its candidate J. J. Peadon was not returned. |
