Sellers, daughter of the late Thomas and Susie Sellers.  A large group of 
children were born to this union.  She died on May 17, 1933, and several years 
later Mr. Fitzgerald was again happily married to the former Miss Katie Mae

young man, and while all his children were growing up Mr. Fitzgerald was 
connected with the City of Camilla and headed up the Street & Sanitary 
Department.  Around 1940 he severed his connection with the city and became a 
state revenue officer.  When the present state administration went into office 
he changed jobs, becoming a deputized officer of the Mitchell County Sheriff's 
office.  He had this job until his death.  Late last summer and fall he 
broadened service as a deputized officer of the sheriff to help the Mitchell 
County Health Department enforce the rabies control program.  Mr. Fitzgerald 
was an honorary member of the Georgia Peace Officers Association and was a 
member of the Baconton Baptist Church.
