 Frank Fielding was born at Slippery Rock, Butler county, 
Pa.  He was educated at Saint Francis College, at Loretto, 
Pa.; and at Saint Vincent's at Latrobe, Pa., but was not a 
graduate from either.  He received further instruction from 
Rev. W. T. Hamilton, of Mobile, Ala., while the reverend 
professor was in the Northern States.  Mr. Fielding studied 
law with Hon. Wm. P. Hill, at Marshall, Texas; continued his 
course with John N. Thompson, of Butler, Pa., and finished 
in the office of Hon. James Bredin, of Butler, now of 
Pittsburg, Pa.  In 1864, Mr. Fielding came to Clearfield to 
practice.  He became a member of the law firm of Wallace, 
Bigler & Fielding.  The firm was afterward changed to 
Wallace & Fielding, and still later to Fielding, Bigler & 
Wilson.  Of late years, however, Mr. Fielding has practiced 
without a partner.  He was elected to the office of District 
Attorney and served one term.
