Tuesday afternoon after an eight days
Illness of pneumonia. Death came
peacefully while members of the fam

attendance for several days were
gathered around the death bed They
as well as the dying merchant were
prepared for the end.
Marshall Field was without question
the greatest and most successful mer.
chant of his generation and he was
one of the worlds richest men, his
wealth being estimated at anywhere
from s100,000,000 to s200,O00,O00. He
was a native of Conway, Mass, where
he was born in 1885. At the age of II
he became a clerk in a store in Pitts
field, Mass, where he remained four
years. He went to Chicago in 1856
and began his career in that city as a
clerk in the wholesale dry goods es-
tablishment of Cooley, Wadsworth &
Co.
During the four years that he
remained with this house he show
ed marked commercial ability and in
1860 he was given a partnership. The
late Levi z. Letter was also connected
with the firm, and in 1865 the two
young men withdrew and in company
with Potter Palmer they organized the
firm of Field, Palmer & Letter, which
continued until 1867, when Mr. Palmer
withdrew and the firm became Field,
II aft r.
1881, when Mr.. Letter retired and the
firm became known as Marshall Field
& Co.. as it is to-day.
The house forged to the front very
rapidly, and it is now the largest en-
terprise of it's kind in the world, hav-
ing numerous branches throughout
Europe and Asia. Its remarkable sue
cess is attributed almost entirely to
Mr.. Field and his methods. He made
1t rule never to borrow money and
never to issue a note. He paid cash
for everything he bought, not only in
connection with his dry goods enter
prise, but for all of his dealings in
real estate and in other investments.
