Fielder - A pillar in the church, a father in
Israel, a faithful Christian, and a model deacon has
fallen at his post.

F.M. Fielder, our much beloved and esteemed friend
and brother, passed away May 22, 1895, after an
illness of about ten months.  Bro. Fielder was 73
years and one month old to a day.  He was converted
and joined the Baptist church when about 17 years of
age.  Oh how we will miss him in the church and at
home.  His funeral services were conducted at the
Baptist church in Villa Rica, where he had long been
a member and a spiritual advisor, by his pastor.
His chair is all that is left of his visible
presence, but his work will live after him.  He
leaves a dear wife, Martha M. Fielder, and two
faithful children, Atha R. Strickland and Oscar A.
Fielder.  May God bless and comfort them.

His pastor,
T.E. McCutchen
