Death of Mrs. Fields (should be Field)
Mrs. Martha Fields, wife of T. G. Fields, formerly of Hammon died in Prescott, Arizona, December 10, 1915. This news came in a telegram a few days ago, we have no particulars of her last sickness. She was in good health about two weeks ago, this is know by recent letters. Mrs. Fields was a devout member of the Methodist Church for many years, those who knew her, know she was to be found in the place at church always ready to do anything, she could for her Master. Recently she wrote a letter to a friend, Mrs. York, enclosing a clipping that she wished read to the ladies of the Missionary Society, she said this expressed her sentiments.
Copy of clipping:
Look to Jesus
(Dedicated to my aged friends.)
We lonely ones must look to Jesus with a feeling that He knows.
He knows all about our losses. He knows all about our crosses.
He sees every tear that flows. He knows we've lost the home so
happy, lost the loved one, kind and true; He knows how it all haschanged; how some times loved ones seem a stranger. Yes, Jesus
knows about this, too. He knows the heart sometimes grows heavy, from a sense of what we've lost--the kindly smile; the words of cheer, the little things to us so dear--and He knows what it all has cost. He knows there are thorns among the flowers all along our lonely way. Should we not be happy with such a comforter ever near to remind us that all things are working together for good to them who love the Lord? Not one of our friends can understand fully our environments save those who from like experience have learned the lessons that must come into our lives in order to consume the dross and refine the gold, thereby fitting us in the Master's vineyard.--Sallie A. Miller.
