Greene County Obituaries J. T. Fitzgerald and T. A. Fitzgerald Double Funeral Held At Greeneville Greeneville, Tenn., June 19, 1916 The funeral of J. T. Fitzgerald and T. A. Fitzgerald took place at the M. E. church at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon conducted by the pastor, W. R. Oliver, and was very largely attended. In fact no funeral service in Greeneville in a long time has been so largely attended. The church could accommodate only a portion of those present. J. T. Fitzgerald died in Knoxville and his body was shipped to Greeneville for burial. T. A. Fitzgerald, his twin brother, was in Washington and leaving that city almost as soon as the news of his brother's death was received, had arrived in Greeneville before the funeral party had arrived from Knoxville and gone to the boarding house of the Misses Gammon, where he almost at once was taken sick and died within a very short time. The burial was in Oak Grove cemetery and the cortege of automobiles extended nearly from the church to the cemetery which is more than a half mile.
