The home of Fred Fiedler is pictured in the early days of Holyoke. Fred was a cashier for Citizens State Bank (which merged with First National Bank), served one term as deputy county treasurer, founded Phillips County Abstract Co., was in the real estate and insurance business, was a charter member of the Holyoke Lions Club and served on the Holyoke Elementary School District 39 Board of Education. The date of the photo is unknown, but it appears that it was before paving of the streets. The home now serves as the St. Patrick Catholic Church rectory. — source: Phillips County Museum
