Thomas Albert Field, son of the late George Field, died at his residence, Lambridge, on May 3rd, at the age of 81 years and 5 months. He was born on 4th November, 1840, about half-a-mile from his late residence, on the farm now occupied by Mr. C. Hanson. After he left school he was droving for a time for the late Mr. J. D. Single. In the early sixties he commenced carrying on the road between Sydney, Mudgee, and the western districts for the late Mr. J. Brown, of Castlereagh. For a number of years he was employed by the Emu Gravel Company, drawing boulders to the crusher. Then he followed farming for several years, retiring from that about ten years ago. In I866 he was married at Emu Plains to Sarah Jane Higgs, daughter of the late John Higgs, of Parramatta. He was a member of the Salvation Army for 37 years, being color-sergeant most of that time. He leaves a wife and the following four sons and one daughter:—George (Lemongrove), Mrs. G. Bellingham (Lambridge), Thomas (Penrith), and Ernest and Charles (Lambridge). Deceased was a member of the Western Pioneer Independent Oddfellows' Lodge, joining in December, 1880.
The funeral left his late residence at 3.30 p.m. on Thursday of last week for Kingswood Cemetery. The Salvation Army band headed the cortege, playing his favorite hymns at intervals enroute to the cemetery, and then again at the graveside. The service at the graveside was conducted by the Rev. L. G. Hatfield Hall and Ensign Morton (S.A.).
A memorial service will be held at the Salvation Army Hall this Sunday evening (14th inst.).5
