LETTER: In Loving Memory of My Relatives, the Fitzpatrick Brothers

More was involved about the tragedy than was known by most

By E.H. Lepiarczyk

I appreciate the article about the Fitzpatrick brothers very much.

I conferred with my grandmother about the hanging of the Fitzpatrick brothers.

She told me that more was involved to the tragedy than was known by most people.


Agitation by individuals, whose hands were not to be dirty, was the main cause which led to the untimely deaths of Miller Brewster and the Fitzpatrick brothers.I'm sure excessive drinking on election day did not help.

As for the Fitzpatrick brothers' educational background, they were no less educated than many Adair Countians at the time.

The Fitzpatrick brothers were members of a good family and their great-grandfather was one of the earliest elders of the Baptist congregation assembled at Tabernacle.

Neatsville was named in honor of the Fitzpatrick brothers' and my ancestor.
