Nashville patriot. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1858-1860, 1858-11-01
Dean OF Col. WIN. r,eld..

We learn from the Galveston Nescs that
Col WILLIAM FIELDS, whose name for the
last ten years has been so closely identified
with political affairs OF Texas, died at Hemp
stead in that State, on the 9th of Sept. last.
after an Illness of eight or ten days. The
Netrs says he died of congestive fever: In the
preamble to series of resolutions adopted
at a meeting of number of citizens of Hemp
stead on the day of his death, the disease is
pronounced yellow fever.
Col FIELDS was native of Tennessee, and
has relatives living in this county. He began
life as printer; and worked at the case in
Columbia about twenty-five years ago. Ii
we are not mistaken, he was at that time con-
nected. either as editor or publisher, with one
of the papers here. He went from Columbia
to Nashville, and thence to Knoxville at one
of which places he printed and published the
first edition of his "Scrap-Book," work
which may claim the distinction, we believe,
of having been the first literary work ever
published in Tennessee. Copies of this
edition are now very rare, though afew years
since quite a number of them, dim with the
dust Of time, and much soiled from long
usage, were to he met with in Maury, William
son and Davidson counties and were very
highly priced by their owners. In 1851 Col.
FIELDS issued a revised and improved edition
from the press of Lippincott, Grambo &Co.
Philadelphia, and the work may now be had
at any of the book stores in this country.
Col. FIELDS emigrated TO Texas about the
year 1886. He was elected to the Legisla-
ture from Liberty County some ten years
ago, and continued to represent that county
through several sessions. He held a number
of other responsible offices. the duties of
which he discharged in manner highly Gre
ditable to himself aud satisfactory TO the peo-
pie. AT the time Of his death he was Chief
Engineer of the State. He resided at Gal
vestou.-Coi. Mirror.
