ME ****************** Funeral services for Jacob Anderson Field, Burleigh county pioneer who died Wednesday evening at his home east of the city, will be held Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the First Baptist church in Bismarck. Services will be in charge of Rev. Jorden. Interment will be in St. Mary's cemetery. Many long-time residents of Burleigh county today mourned the pasing of Mr. Field. He was declared to have been the first herald of North Dakota to the rest of the United States. Coming to North Dakota in 1877, Mr. Field first engaged in freighting from Bismarck to the Black Hills, before there was a railroad. He settled on a homestead six miles east of Bismarck and continued to reside there until his death. Mr. Field made a success of farming, a really difficult thing to do in the early days. He became enthused over the country. At that time North Dakota was just beginning to advertise herself to the rest of the country. Mr. Field, as a representative of the Northern Pacific railroad and of the state, carried the name of North Dakota into all parts of the country. He and Farmer Wallace were the two leading exponents of the state through exhibits at that time. Mr. Field went to the cotton exposition in New Orleans, 1884-1885, carrying an exhibit of the resources of North Dakota. His exhibit at the international exposition in Buffalo in September, 1888, was awarded first prize. Agriculture products were featured in the exhibit, but it included heads of buffalo, elk, deer and antelope, the buffalo head being that of the last buffalo killed on the Missouri river in the state. Mr. Field also carried the wares of North Dakota to the World's Fair in Chicago in 1893 as state commissioner. He was painstaking in his preparation of exhibits and was remarkably successful. Mr. Field was born in Lewiston, Maine, October 12, 1836. He served in the Civil war with the Twelfth Maine regiment. Returning to Lewiston after being mustered out of service, he took up farming and business life until he came west in 1877. Mr. Field was married to Miss Dorothy Golder, of Lewiston, Me., in 1859. Mr. Field was possessed of remarkable vigor and he sold milk in Bismarck a year ago, at the age of 84, continuing active direction of his farming and dairying work until a short time ago. Until last year he farmed an entire section. Mr. Field was the second man to file in the Bismarck land office. He was active in community affairs. He served as his township treasurer. The deceased is survived by his widow and three children. Dr. M. Field, of Northfield, Minn.; E. J. Field, of Burleigh county and Wilbert Field, of Bismarck. Mr. Field was an active Mason, being a member of the Bismarck Blue Lodge and a Thirty-Second degree Mason. The Bismarck Tribune, Friday, April 22, 1921, Page 1.
