Fiske, Fidelia (1816–64) Protestant missionary; born in Shelburne, Mass. The daughter of a farmer, she developed religious interests as a child and volunteered for mission service after graduating from Mount Holyoke Seminary in 1842. Sent to Persia, she founded a girls school and ministered among women and children. Ill health forced her to return to the U.S.A. in 1858; she did not recover sufficiently to return to the field. Her book about the founder of Mt. Holyoke, Recollections of Mary Lyon, was published posthumously in 1866. How to thank TFD for its existence?
