AI Notes
A clipped newspaper obituary headed “S. G. FITZSIMONS,” in the same Jacksonville paper that carried the post-service notice on page 238. This is the earlier pre-service version: it carries the marker “(Special)” after the dateline and announces that “Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. Monday.” It names the officiant — the Rev. Johnson A. Pace Jr. — a detail absent from the post-service clipping on 238. Otherwise the biographical paragraph and list of survivors are identical to page 238.
