DEATH COMES TO DEXTER FIELD
Dexter Field, a well-to-do rancher who has made his home in West Base Line for many years, died at his place at 9 o'clock last evening after an illness which had kept him bedridden for a period of six months. He had celebrated his seventy-seventh birthday anniversary just a month ago yesterday, and had spent 20 years of his life in San Bernardino. He was born in Vermont. The deceased leaves a wife and five children. All of the latter are grown, one living in Redlands, two in Humboldt county and two residing at Colorado Springs, Colorado. All have been notified of their father's death, the messages asking that they come at once. Until answers have been received no definite arrangements will be made for the funeral. Dexter Field was well known throughout the valley and esteemed by all who knew him. He was a devoted member of the First M. E. church, and took an active part in its work until illness compelled him to resign his office.

OBITUARY
Dexter Field, son of Samuel and Jerosia Field, was born in Brattleborough, Vermont, February 1827, and died in San Bernardino, California March 7, 1904.
He was married in Iowa to Sabra E. Millard. To this union were born six children, five of whom are still living. In 1884 Mr. Field moved to California, where he resided continuously until his death.
His first wife having died in 1883, he was married again in 1889, to Miss Rosa Hammerly. Dexter Field was of the old Puritan stock. He was a Christian from his boyhood days, and member of the church from early age. He was a teacher in his younger years.
Thorough in discipline, definite in his ideas and purposes, he did business on the "pay as you go" principle and never sought benefits benefits through speculation or risks of indebtedness. He was temperate in habit, upright in character, regular in church attendance, a kind neighbor - in short a Christian gentleman. He loved his home and his family and desired very much to have his children with him in his last hours, but the long intervening distance so delayed their coming that he was gone to his reward before his son arrived. His faith in God was of the steady, unwavering kind. He always said of his afflictions and conditions, "Well, it is all right." When nearing the end, he said to his dear wife and loving daughter, Mrs. Smith, that he was "going home." When asked to what home he replied, "to heaven." Mrs. Field asked when, he replied that he thought "tonight," and it did prove to be his last conscious night on earth. "Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord."
The funeral was largely attended. The decedent looked life-like as he reclined in a beautiful casket covered with black broad cloth and lined with the finest silk. There was no indication of death in the calm features, which gave one the idea of peaceful slumber. Among the floral pieces was a large cross of carnations and callas.
