3342. Judge Elisha Chapman Field (Thomas J., Joseph C., John, Van W., Samuel, Benjamin, Anthony, Robert, William, William, John, John, William), b.. Portage, Ind, Apr 9, 1842; md Sycamore, Ill., Sept 1., 1864, Mary Edith Jackman, b. May 26, 1846. ...[description of importance of railroad law].... Standing in this important relation to the Chicago, Indianapolis & Louisville Company is Elisha C. Field, a distinguished member of the Chicago bar, who thorough understanding of the principles of jurisprudence and accurate application thereof ....
A native of Porter county, Indiana, he was born April 9, 1842 and is a son of Thomas J. and Louise (Chapman) Field, natives of New York, whence they removed to Indiana in 1836. They spent the residue of their days in the latter state, the father passing away at the age of seventy-two years, while the mother's death occurred at the age of sixty-four years. Judge Field pursued his education in what was known as the Valparaiso (Indiana) Male and Female College, now Northwestern Indiana Normal School, and was graduated in that institution in 1862. With a natural predilection for the law he determined to fit himself for the bar, and accordingly entered the law department of the University of Michigan, at Ann Arbor, where he remained until his graduation, in 1865.
Judge Field entered the practice of law at Crown Pointe, Ind., and in 1868 was elected prosecuting attorney of what was then the Ninth District of the state. On the expiration of his term of service in that office he was elected to the general assembly.
... that led to his election to the bench of the Thirty-first Circuit of Indiana, and so well did he administer justice, that in 1884, he was re-elected without opposition from any source. He was the candidate from the Republican party....
Judge Field continued on the bench until 1889, when he resigned that position in order to accept that of general solicitor of the Louisville, New Albany & Chicago Railroad, in which incumbency he has since been retained, although the name of the corporation has been changed to Chicago, Indianapolis & Louisville Company. Removing to Chicago in the year of his appointment to that position, ....
In 1864, Judge Field was united in marriage to Miss Mary Jackman, of Sycamore, Ill. and they have two sons and two daughters, namely: Charles E., now general claim agent for the Chicago, Indianapolis & Louisville Railway Company; Cora Belle, now Mrs. G. V. Crosby and a resident of Alburquerque, New Mexico; Robert L., a graduate of the Bethel Military School, of Virginia, and commissioned captain by the governor of the state, and Bernice Ray.
The judge is a popular member of the Harvard club and is a leading Republican. In 1888 he was a delegate from the Tenth congressional district of Indiana to the National convention in Chicago, which nominated Benjamin Harrison for president.
