Laura and Dudley will get married next year. They will promptly have a daughter who lives only until 1865. He will die at age 49, while she will last another 15 years.
Mr. Field must have made something of a public impression, because William Malone a Tammany Hall Democrat, named his son after Mr. Field a couple of years after Field’s death.

Very sad, actually. It looks from his obituary as though the Field family completely died out. Dudley was an only child, and none of his father’s brothers had surviving offspring. At least the name remained, thanks to Mr. Malone.
Also, a stadium at Vanderbilt University is called “Dudley Field.”
