Fielden Winfred Arrowood was the third child born to Welzia and Isabell Correll Arrowood.
Fielden “Phil” Arrowood was born July 13, 1883. He married Lillie Miller. Lillie was born April 25, 1888.
He and Lillie had six children. First born was Maggie in 1908, then came Luther Martin on January 09, 1909. The next child was Bessie Mamie Arrowood in 1912, then they had Lonnie "Lone" Arrowood. The last two were Glenn Henry, on May 08, 1916, and sister Helen, who was born after Fielden’s death.
Fielden passed away on September 07, 1918, in Gastonia , North Carolina, at the age of 36. He was buried at Mt. Olivet Cemetery in Gastonia. The death certificate says he died from a stomach ulcer.
He and Lillie were on the 1910 census records, shown as living in the township of Bradshaw in Mitchell County, North Carolina. They must have moved to Gastonia sometime within the next seven or eight years. I located Fielden and Lillie in the Gastonia Directory, in the year of 1918.
After Fielden died and as the years passed, Lillie and her children fell out of touch with the Arrowood family. I found out that Lillie lived in Gaston County until her death on September 23, 1976. Apparently she never remarried. I found Lillie on the Belmont City Directory.
In later years Glenn Henry and his wife, Hazel, would gather with us at our family reunions. Glenn married Hazel Warren and had two children, a girl and a boy. Sadly, Glenn passed away on October 24, 2004 in Mecklenburg County, N.C. He was always quick with a smile, a handsome man.
