Excerpt from In Memoriam: Stephen Johnson Field Proceedings in the Supreme Court of the United States. Monday, April 10, 1899. Present: The Chief Justice, Mr. Justice Harlan, Mr. Justice Gray, Mr. Justice Brewer, Mr. Justice Brown, Mr. Justice Shiras, Mr. Justice White, Mr. Justice Peckham and Mr. Justice McKenna. The Chief Justice. - It becomes my sad duty to inform the gentlemen of the bar that Mr. Justice Field, on yesterday (Sunday) evening, passed peacefully from this life. He died full of years and of honors, and attended by all that should accompany old age. The judicial career of Mr. Justice Field was unexampled in length and distinction, and he occupied a seat upon this bench for a longer period than any of its members from the beginning. His labors left no region of jurisprudence unexplored, and, now that he rests from them, his works will follow him. His retirement when he saw port approaching was so recent that he hardly seems to have been absent, and his death comes home to us the more keenly. As a mark of respect to his memory, the Court will adjourn until tomorrow. Adjourned until tomorrow at 12 o'clock.
