Mrs. Fitzpatrick Died Early Today From Paralysis
Apopletic Stroke Sometime Sunday Night Left Her Unconscious Until End Came
The entire community was shocked this morning, to learn of the death of Mrs. W.S. Fitzpatrick, wife of W.S. Fitzpatrick, vice president of the Prairie Oil and Gas company, at the family home, 409 West Myrtle street. Death occurred at 1:12 o'clock this morning and was due to cerebral hemorhage. Mrs. Fitzpatrick was stricken sometime Sunday night.
Mr. Fitzpatrick who has been in Washington on business, was notified early yesterday morning of her condition and will reach home tomorrow morning. He wired last night he would expect a message when he reached Chicago, this morning, of her condition and that message will inform him of her death.
Mrs. Fitzpatrick was feeling unusually well on Sunday and spent the day with Judge and Mrs. T.J. Flannelly, close friends. After a ride in the evening, they took her to her home where she told them good night, said she was feeling fine and had enjoyed the day.
Yesterday morning after a vain attempt to awaken Mrs. Fitzpatrick by knocking at her bedroom door, the Fitzpatrick maid telephoned the Flannelly's. They hastened to the home and found her unconscious. The physician said she probably had been stricken during the early part of the night.
Friends hastened to the home to give assitance and everything possible was done, but the physician stated from the very first, that he could give no hope. Mrs. Fitzpatrick never regained consciousness and passed away peacefully, at the early hour this morning.
She will be mourned by a wide circle of friends she has made during her residence here. Afflicted for the past several years and unable to over-exert herselft or take part in the many activities of her friends to any extent, she always maintained a cheerful attitude and was interested in the happiness and welfare of those about her. No word of complaint was ever heard to pass her lips about her condition and she made and held friends because of this beautiful trait of character.
She was broad in her views and anxious to help others through life. This winter, she has had in her home a high school boy, from an other part of the county, who wished to attend high school, but could not pay board and room while he did so. He was made one of the family and Mrs. Fitzpatrick looked after his comfort and schooling as she would a son, and that despite her frail health.
One dearly beloved sister, is the only near relative she leaves, besides her devoted husband. This sister, Mrs. Marcella Reichert, of Chicago, arrived this afternoon, leaving Chicago yesterday when she learned of Mrs. Fitzpatrick's condition. An unusually strong tie bound the sisters together, Mrs. Reichert having reared Mrs. Fitzpatrick and taken the place of a mother with her.
Mr. and Mrs. Horace Fitzpatrick arrived this evening from their home at Ranger, Texas, coming as soon as they learned of Mrs. Fitzpatrick's illness.
No arrangements for the funeral will be made until Mr. Fitzpatrick arrives home. He has the sincere sympathy of the community in his bereavement, made doubly sad by his absence from home.
