Cubon in his bibliography (which also contains potted biographies of Manx printers) has on p1171
FITSIMMONS WILLIAM, Queen Street, Douglas.
Fitzsimmons served his apprenticeship with Glover. Later he worked for Hardy Summers in Ramsey. In 1880 he commenced in Queen Street, Douglas, the ' Isle of Man Standard.' He had a small staff, and had to write the articles and put their into type himself. He was thus much handicapped, especially as he was, unable to give any time to canvassing for advertisements. The paper had a short existence, and no copy of it has survived. He was in his youg days an excellent athlete
and sprinter.
Fitzsimmons was the son of a Foxdale miner and was educated in the little school in the village by Thomas Hudson. He was a clever journalist and claimed to have
developed a shorthand entirely his own. He was in the early eighties the chief reporter on the ' Isle of Man Examiner.'

Any obit is thus likely to be carried in that paper
