Individual Note: Dad was the one who was responsible for getting me interested in genealogy. I think it was his lifetime hobby. Mother was also interested, as was Aunt Gladys Whittington Thomas. Dad's interest might have sprung from the fact that his father died when he was only five years old, and apparently he did not know who his Grandfather Fitzpatrick was.
He spent most of his life in Atlanta, GA, living at 1007 Belleview Drive, then at 1088 Rosewood Drive in northeast Atlanta. He was a manufacturer's representative for electrical appliance companies, notably the Silex Co., Hamilton Beach and several others. He was a gregarious, honest, sensitive man with a quick temper, but who did not hold a grudge. He had a great sense of humor. He also had a strong sense of loyalty, especially to his family. He shared the usual biases held by most southerners of his time, particularly those who lived in Sherman's path during the Civil War, or War Between the States, as it is called in the south.

Note for: Harriott Craighton Thomas, 12 JAN 1898 - 27 JUN 1968
Index
Event: Type: Reference #13
Date: 27 JUN 1968
Place: Died. Buried at Westview Cemetery, Atlanta, GA
Individual Note: Harriott was raised in Atlanta, on Highland Avenue near Saint Charles Street in the neighborhood called Morningside. Her family later moved to the corner of Highland Avenue and Rosewood Drive. After she and Knox were married, they lived in Charlotte, North Carolina and in Detroit, Michigan. They moved back to Atlanta, Georgia and lived at Number 23 Belleview Drive when their first child, William Knox Jr. was born. The following April, they moved to Coral Gables, Florida, and we were living there when the great hurricane of 1926 occurred. The family returned to their previous home, which now had the number, 1007 Belleview Drive, one block from grandfather Thomas' house. The family later moved to 1088 Rosewood Drive, where their second child, Mary Charles was born.
Harriott's mother died when she was a first year student at Randolph Macon College in Lynchburg, Virginia. She had to return to take over the management of the family. She was firm, strong willed, hard working, ambitious, and expected the best from her children. She, like Knox, had a great sense of humor. She was shrewd, and a canny investor. The older I get, the more I love and respect her. The spelling of her name is that she used on my birth certificate, although my aunt Gladys says that it was originally Harriette Crayton Thomas. She belonged to the Druid Hills Methodist Church.[FitzpatrickJR.GED.FTW]

Individual Note: Uncle Ward was the handsomest of the Fitzpatrick brothers. He left Atlanta, Georgia for San Diego CA as a young man, and did very well in real estate there and in insurance. He married four times, the first and third times to my aunt Mable Roy, the second to Lilian Wulff and the fourth to Nancy. Ward was a very personable man, and was largely self-taught. He had a fine singing voice.

Note for: Paull Fitzpatrick, 1 JAN 1889 - 21 SEP 1955
Index
Individual Note: Uncle Paull helped with the telephone exchange in Greensboro as a boy. Later when Lucy took the family to Birmingham, he worked in a grocery store. He ultimately became the president of a bank in Detroit, and was a 33rd degree Mason. He died without having any children.
This from the "Greensboro Watchman." "Greensboro friends of Paull Fitzpatrick, a resident of this community many years ago, will regret to learn of his death in Detroit on September 21. Mr. Fitzpatrick had suffered a heart attack last March, and from this he had never fully recovered. He had been seriously injured in an automobile wreck more than ten years ago, and this had left him incapacitated much of the time.
Mr. Fitzpatrick was branch manager of the Detroit Ordnance Works at the time of his death. This is a government office, having charge of the handling and auditing of all government orders for merchandise in the Detroit district, and employing from one to two thousand people. He was vice president of the First National Bank of Detroit until its failure during the depression. He later helped organize the Detroit branch of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, and continued as an officer. Still later, he helped organize the Home Owners Loan Corporation, Detroit Branch, and was an officer in it until he became associated with the Ordnance Works.
Mr. Fitzpatrick was born at Scott's Station, between Newbern and Marion, on January 1, 1889, the son of Thomas Benjamin and Lucie Paull Fitzpatrick. The family moved to Trussville, and then to Akron in 1892, living there until the father's death, at the age of 32 in 1895.
The mother moved to Greensboro, with her five children, and built the Greensboro telephone exchange, and operated it until she sold it to Southern Bell in 1908. Soon thereafter, the family moved to Birmingham.
Mr. Fitzpatrick was married first in 1911 to Miss Evelyn Teggert of Detroit. She died in 1916, and he then married Florence Blumberg of Detroit in 1917. She died in May 1952. Mr. Fitzpatrick was buried in Birmingham, Michigan in the Blumberg lot next to his second wife.
Surviving him are two brothers, William Knox Fitzpatrick of Atlanta and Ward Fitzpatrick of Bonita, California; and two sisters, Mrs. John L. Jernigan (the former Louise Fitzpatrick) of Brewton, Alabama, and Mrs. Otto Witte (the former Grace Fitzpatrick) of Warren, Michigan."[FitzpatrickJR.GED.FTW]

Individual Note: Aunt Louise was a sweet lady who lived most of her life on Belleville Avenue in Brewton AL where she was the matriarch. She had a great sense of humor, which seems to have been passed on to all the Fitzpatricks. She developed a thyroid condition which made her very heavy.
