CARTERSVILLE, GA., JUNE 29, 191 G JERE ELIJAH FIELD DIES INJEW YORK HOSPITAL Prominent Business Man And Popular Cit izen Contracts Pheumonia While Away For Treatment and Succumbs. News reached Carters ville Thurs day morning of the death of Jere Elijah Field, business man and gen tleman and one of the most substan tial citizens of Bartow county. The message came by wire from hi® son, W. H. Field, who arrived in New’ York Sunday, simply stating the news that his father had died at 6:30 o'clock Wednesday evening. It was soon known throughout the city, and over much of the county, that Mr. Field was dead. Hundreds expressed their sorrow and regret concerning the loss ct a citizen held in such high esteem and as a contributor to the progress and success of the county in a busi ness way. Mr. Fieild had been ini bad health for something more than a year. A growth upon his neck failed to yield to treatment in Cartersville and he went to New York about twelve months ago and there received a treat ment which greatly relieved his trou ble. A recurrence of it a short time ago caused him again to seek out the same specialist. He arrived in New York about three weeks ago. A few days later he contracted pneumonia and his son, W. H. Field, left Carters ville last Friday night in resi>onse to a call. Soon after Mr. Field's sickness developed, he was taken, to a hospital and received the best of attention and on Wednesday morning the family in .Cartersville received a message that he, w£S gnawing belter. .He must have grown suddenly worse, for next morn ing a message carried the news of his death. Mr. Field was born January 14, 1856 ir. Cherokee county, the son of Elijah M. and Cornelia Maxey Field. When but a small boy, .his family moved to Bartow county and have ever since been prominent in business, social and civic affairs relating to the history of this county. In 1876 Mr. Field was married to Miss Mary Hampton, of Versailles, Ky., a popular and accomplished "wo man and the daughter of a very prom inent Kentucky family. In February 1889, Mr. Field lost his wife through BINTS CLOSE INDEPENDENCE DAY Fourth of July to Be Quiet ly Observed Here In And Recreation. The merchants of Cartersville, as an evidence of their patriotism, have decided to close their tsores pn the fourth of July, and thus give a full holiday to all clerks and employees and the public is thus made to under stand that no article can be purchased in the stores on this day. Hundreds from Cartersville will at tend the great preparedness parade on the fourth of July tin Atlanta. Mayor Paul Gilreath has been appointed a marshal and all from Cartersville in Atlanta on this day are invited to take part in the parade. It will be a great demonstration in which it is expected that fully twenty-five thousand men will be in line, and the women also have been given, a place in the parade. It was urged that everyone in Carters ville having a flag should display it on this day, and those who have not should provide themselves with a patriotic emblem. This country's dan ger at present, in view of our critical relations with Mexico, is that patrio tism and our national spirit has been lost sight of in our interest in other affairs and in our material prosperity. Every parent should upon this day ex plain to children tlhe meaning of tae day, what it commemorates and to what extent the declaration of inde pendence has proved an influence to death, and he has since made his home with his mother on Erwin street. His boyhood and early manhood was spent, on the farm and he came to know thoroughly the agricultural bus iness.. later he engaged in business with John Crawford, conducting a sale and livery stable. Mr. Crawford’s interest was purchased by J. M. Field, a younger brother, and in the mean time Mr. Jere Field began to take an active interest in dealing in cotton. About 26 years ago he went into the business of buying and seMimg and warehousing cotton, and thus the pres ent large and extensive business known as J. E. Field & Son. Mr. Field was known throughout all Georgia, and dn the cotton markets of the United States. He counted his friends by the hundreds and loved the companionship of men with whem he was an interesting conversationalist and toward whom he displayed every interest and desire to be of help and service. He was a consistent member of the Methodist church, of the Car tensville lodges of Masons and Knltghts of Pythias, and creditably lived the life of a gentleman. He had high ideals, an attractive personality, and his opinion when offered could always I be credited as one formed after care ful study and deliberation. . Mr. Field is survived by two cMT- r dren, W. H. Field and Mrs. Harris G. Cope, both of whom illve in Carters -vi Her ThttifeTeft“ftfmonrn his death, also, two brothers and two sisters. Judge R. H.
