FIELDIN. At Fall River, Massachusetts, June 14, 1896, Sr. Sadie J. Fieldin. She was born at Harbor Grace, Newfoundland, June 17, 1871; was the daughter of John C. and Bethany French.

She had previously been a member of the Methodist Church. She
joined the [Reorganized] Latter Day Saints at the Plainville reunion in 1894, being baptized by Elder U. W. Greene and received satisfactory confirmation of the truth of the gospel.

The first day of January 1896, she was joined in matrimony to Dr. J. W. Fieldin. Notwithstanding a loving husband and pleasant home, death intruded with an unalterable decree. The same young men who six months before acted the part of ushers and led the happy procession down the aisle of the Saints' chapel to the wedding ceremony were bearers at the funeral; the cheerful white and orange blossom adornment was now changed to somber hue and crape.

The funeral was private, from the residence of her sister, Mrs. Moses Sheehy. Funeral sermon by Elder F. M. Sheehy, assisted by Elder John Smith, pastor of the Saints' Church, and Rev. J. T. Barlow, pastor of the Methodist Church, where the bereaved husband is an active member.
