age of twenty-five years.

His farm is under a high state of cultivation, and has all the modern improvements in the way of a fine residence, barns, etc. Mr. Fielden was married in Cass County on the fourth day of February, 1857, to Miss Elizabeth Briar. Mrs. Fielden was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in November, 1828. Mr. and Mrs. Fielden have been blessed with seven children, of whom four are now living: Mary, Emma, Lincoln and Lannes. He is a member of the Baptist Church, and she of the Cumberland Presbyterian.

was a Whig, but now unites with the Republican party.
