Obituary of Edgar Thomas Fitzgerald Jr. 
as written in "The Camilla Enterprise" dated 19 Jul 1940.  


Taken suddenly ill with a heart attack on Thursday, 11 Jul 1940,, 
afternoon of last week, Mr. Edgar Thomas Fitzgerald, well known Camilla citizen, died 
at his home on North Harney Street at 6:00 PM. Friends throughout Camilla, sadly 
shocked by his sudden passing, quickly gathered at the stricken home to offer every 
sympathy and assistance to the bereaved family in their hour of sadness.  Funeral services 
took place at the home Friday, 12 Jul 1940, at 4:00 PM, conducted by the Rev S. H. 
Bennett, pastor of Camilla Baptist Church, in the presence of a large assemblage of 
sorrowing neighbors and friends.  Pall bearers were Messrs. Wyatt Arline, I. Macey, Jim 
Williford, H. Tuggle, Lester Butler, Zack Worsham and L. A. Harper. J. R. Bramlett was 
in charge of funeral arrangements.  Interment was in Oakview Cemetery.  Mr. Fitzgerald 
was fifty-five years of age and had lived his entire life in this county.  He was the son of 
the late Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Thomas Fitzgerald Sr. and was born and grew up in the 
Greenwood Community.  He engaged in farming until he moved to Camilla about twenty 
years ago.  Serving in different business capacities since coming to Camilla he had a wide 
circle of friends to whom his death has brought sadness and who will not forget his jolly, 
friendly manner to all.  Mr. Fitzgerald had been a member of the Baptist church since 
early in life.  The deceased is survived by his wife, the former Miss Grace Griner, and 
three children, two daughters, Mrs. G. C. Mroczkowski, of Albany and Miss Dorothy 
Fitzgerald, and one son, Mr. Tom Hardwick Fitzgerald.  Also surviving are his aged 
mother, Mrs. Emma S. Fitzgerald of Greenwood Community and three brothers, Mr. Guy 
H. Fitzgerald of Greenwood; D. Warner Fitzgerald of Camilla and Joe Brown Fitzgerald 
of Albany and one sister, Mrs. Clara DeGraffenreid of Greenwood.  Many friends 
throughout the county sympathize deeply with the family in their grief.
