Detroit Free Press – June 7, 1865
Death of a Brave Officer – It gives us pain to record the death of Maj. Thos. C. Fitzgibbons, of the 14t Regiment, who died at 55 Columbia street in this city on the evening of the 5th.The Major was with Gen. Sherman in his great march and was wounded near Fayetteville last February. He was but 29 years of age, and leaves a wife and three children and a larger circle of friends to mourn his loss. He was an accomplished officer, and there was no braver man in the service than him.
