years, during the time gradually growing more feeble.

The deceased was born in Ireland in 1830 and came to America at the age of
17 years.  Coming west to the newest part of the new country he was one of 
the earliest frontier pioneers, and fought in the Seminole war in 1856-58.

he came back to Indian Territory on foot and since then had made Oklahoma 
his home.

happy union of whom six, three daughters and three sons, survive their 
father.  His wife preceded him to her Heavenly home three months ago, one
son died a month ago, and a grandson four months ago.  Mr. Fitzpatrick's 
death being the fourth in the family in four months.

The deceased moved to Chickasha seven years ago and is well known in 
Chickasha and the surrounding country.  His many friends join in sympathy 
with the bereaved family.
