Cedartown Standard, May 2, 1901
In memory of F. M. Fitzpatrick. He closed his eyes to the beauties of this 
world March 27th, 1901, and his age was about 46 years when he died. He joined 
the Baptist church at Antioch 27 years ago next August, of which the writer is 
a witness. He was left an orphan boy and had a hard time until grown. He 
married Miss Laura Hill, daughter of Mr. James Hill, and she became afflicted 
for many years before she died. Notwithstanding all his hardships, he lived a 
Christian life, and was one of the most patient men I ever knew. He never 
complained at anything like many of us, but was always cheerful in adversity as 
in prosperity. He called his daughter and two little boys to his dying bed and 
told them how to live and always find friends while without father and mother. 
We know that although his form will moulder to dust, his soul hath inherited 
eternal life, sheltered from the storms of life by a fond Father,s protecting 
love who bore our sorrow and grief. He leaves three children, one daughter and 
two little boys. And one sister Miss. Georgie Broom, of Alabama, to mourn their 
loss. They have our sympathy in their lonely and sad hours. We can only say: He 
is only gone before to join his angel mother and wife, and will be watching and 
waiting for you and me. Weep not, for a brother deceased; Our loss is his 
infinite gain; A soul out of prison released And fread from his bodily chain. 
With sons let us follow his flight and mount with his spirit above, Escaped to 
the mansions of light, And lodged in the Eden of love. A Friend.
