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.

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.

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.
