The Anderson Intelligencer
Thursday, 4 October, 1860

         Departed This Life, on Friday the 21st ult., in Anderson
       District, Mrs. NANCY FIELDS, consort of HORATIO FIELDS, and
       daughter of MOSES and REBECCA PRESSLEY. She was born in Abbe-
       ville District in the year 1790, and married in the year 1818.
       She was a kind, affectionate and dutiful wife, a tender, lov-
       ing and indulgent mother, and leaves behind her a desolute
       husband and weeping children to mourn her death. She joined
       the Baptist Church near ** years ago, and has ever since lived
       a consistent member thereof. Adorning her profession of reli-
       gion by a pious walk and a goldy conversation, sharing largely
       the affection and confidence of her brethren, and the high
       esteem of all who knew her. Those who knew her best loved her
       most. And calmly and quietly at life's last hour, she fell
       sweetly asleep in the arms of that Saviour whom she loved 
       and had so much delighted to serve, and has doubtless gone
       home to the land of rest that remaineth to the people of God,
       to live forever amidst the glory of that world of unfading
       joys and unalloyed bliss. Her husband, children and friends
       cas say of a truth, "our loss is her eternal gain," and
       though she can never return to us, we can go to her.
