Thayer's Notes:

a Lt. Fitzpatrick's birthdate is from his AOG obituary. If the year is accurate (see next note), he would have been sixteen at most on entering the Academy.

b The grave on this page may be Lt. Fitzpatrick's — the date of birth on the tombstone almost matches his birthdate as given in the AOG obituary, and the cemetery is in the same Ohio county as his place of death — but, absent any better information, it's by no means certain to me.

Images with borders lead to more information.
The thicker the border, the more information. (Details here.)
