He had just returned from town and his daughter's home where he had spent a few minutes with she and her husband, and seemed in his usual health. While talking with his wife he was seized with a heart attack and was ill only 45 minutes before death came. Mr. Fielder was 75 years old and had been active almost of the time up until his death. He leaves a wife and two sons, Terrell and Clyde Fielder and two daughters, Mrs. C.W. Cox and Miss Lorena Fielder and one brother Mr. Major Fielder of Cairo, Ga. He leaves a host of sorrowing friends and relatives to mourn his death. Interment took place Sunday afternoon at 4:00 o'clock in the family burying ground near Box Springs. Services were conducted by his pastor, Rev. E. H. Dunn pastor of the Baptist church at Box Springs of which he was a member several years ago before coming to Junction City. The Talbotton New Era Thursday, July 23, 1931 In Memory of Mr. Mark Fielder In the early evening twilight hours of Saturday, July 11th at his home in Junction City, Mr. Mark Fielder quietly and peacefully departed this life and crossed to the other shore. Surely his passing was as he would have it easy, sweet and without distress. Stricken in his own home, attended by his own loved ones and cherished friends he passed on as a true citizen with every confidence in his fellow man and in his own essential character. To brighten the life of those in distress and despair was more than a pleasure to Mr. Mark Fielder. Of him the brightest truthful thoughts must be, "He was a good citizen, a loving father and husband." Our hearts are made sad to believe more and more in the passing of his friend, to believe in the infinite love and work of our Heavenly Father. His life was replete with acts and deeds which tended toward the betterment of his fellow man. No duty devolved upon him as a member of his church and community was even shirked and he made known his position touching the affairs of all matters pertaining to usefulness. There may have come into his life disappointment and misfortune, as comes to the life of every one, but with it all his face was always to the front and he was always found battling for the right to be his chief aim in life. The great love which he had and carried for the members of his family was evidence of his good character.
