NOTES
1). 11 19 1857 Parents married in Greene County AL. 8 9 1863 Born in Greene County AL, the third of four children. His father died before he was seven years old, and he was raised by his mother with the help of other members of his family. In 1867 Greene County was divided into Greene in the west and Hale in the east. Greensboro is the seat of Hale County, Eutaw, of Greene. 8 29 1895 Died in Greensboro AL, buried in the Presbyterian graveyard in Newbern AL, although he was said to be a devout methodist. Quote from the Greensboro Alabama Watchman , September 26,1895. Death of Mr. T.B.Fitzpatrick Someone is resting from sorrow and sin. Happy where Earth s conflicts enter not in Joyous as birds, when the morning is bright When the sweet sunbeams have brought us their light. Weary with sowing, never to reap Weary with labor and welcoming sleep. Someone s departed to heaven s bright shore Ring the bell softly, there s crepe on the door. It became our painful duty to chronicle the death of Mr. T. Ben Fitzpatrick of Akron, Ala., which sad event occured in Greensboro on the night of Sept.22nd at eleven o clock. His age was thirty two years.He had been in a low state of health for several months past and came to Greensboro about three weeks ago suffering from the yellow disease. His numerous friends here sincerely hoped that his disease would not prove fatal, and did all in their power to add to his comfort , but all to no avail. Death came and relieved him of his pain. There were many tears shed by strong men who had known and loved Mr. Fitzpatrick for years past, when his death was announced to them. No young man of our acquaintance was more widely known, and universally liked than Ben Fitzpatrick. He was upright and honorable in his dealings with his fellow man, true, generous and every inch a gentleman. Though he held most responsible and onerous positions as Agents for the A.G.S.Railroad, the C.S.&M. R.R., Postmaster, telegraph operator and express agent at Akron, he was never so busy that he could not return a civil and polite answer to anyone who desired information of him. That same sunny genial disposition won for him a great hostof friends, and the agent at Akron was known far and near as the cleverest to be found in the land. He was a man of fine business qualifications and did the work of two or three ordinary men with the utmost of ease and good nature. He was also well informed on the current events of the day, and a man of considerable literary attainments, having familiarized himself with the writings of the best authors. His death was a real loss to Hale County and a most severe blow to his wife and five children, motherand sister Mrs. D.W.Ward who have the tenderest sympathy all in their hour of great bereavement. The remains were taken to Newbern, the old home, for interment, followed by a number of Greensboro friends and others. More was there, but I wasn t able to get it. W.K.F. Jr. !The Greensboro Alabama Watchman. Date. Sept. 26, 1895. !Will dated Sept. 21,1895.To Lucy, his wife, to consult freely with D.W. Ward. Witnessed by G.W. Chadwick and R.B. Waller.

2).  !BIOGRAPHY   After Papa  s death, Mama assumed the responsibilities of father and mother. At the age of 33 with no previous business experience, she built the first telephone exchange in Greensboro, and operated it from 1895 to 1908, when she sold it to Southern Bell, and moved to Birmingham with her five children.There is much I could tell, but I will wait until a late date, still I am wondering how she did it, with little capital and no experience, but she had many substantial friends among the businesspeople of the town who were always ready and more than willing to help her with her problems.  Notable among these were members ofthe family of her husband  s sister, the Wards...W.K. F., Jr.       I will of course start with the Richard Hooker Cobb  s family, Dr. Cobb being the Rector of St.Paul  s Episcopal Church.   Dad  s Notes She moved to Birmingham with her five children in about 1907 and started a nice boarding house there. Aunt Louise worked at Loveman, Joseph and Lowe, a department store. Uncle Paull worked for a grocery store. She moved to Atlanta, GA with W.K.Fitzpatrick, Ward and Paull in about 1915. I don  t know where she lived, but the picture of the Fitzpatrick children with their spouses was taken about the time of her death in Dec., 1924, according to Jane Jernigan Fitzpatrick when I talked to her tonight  7 1 1991 .  !
