The obituary of Ambrose J. Fields as published in the 1982 Minutes Book of the 87th Annual Session of Indian Bottom Association of Old Regular Baptist Churches (page 35):
AMBROSE J. FIELDS
With a sad and weary heart I will attempt to write an obituary of my dear husband, Ambrose J. Fields. He was the son of Joe and Nancy Caudill Fields. He was born March 16, 1888 and departed this life March 6, 1981, being almost ninetythree
years at his death.
On November 6, 1908, he married Rebecca Ann Wells, and to this union six children were born. One died in infancy. Surviving are five sons: Dennis, Pascal, Coleman, Fonda and Joe. Rebecca Ann died April 14, 1936.
On August 8, 1936, he married Minnie Stallard, and we lived almost forty-five years - a happy life - together. We would try to go to church somewhere every Sunday. Although he never did attatch himself to any church, he would always talk about the beautiful home he was going to. He said it was the prettiest place he ever saw. I believe he is resting around the throne of God. The Old Regular Baptist was his belief. He was honest, and worked hard raising his family.
Ambrose's health started failing him in 1974, when he had his first stroke. After this he was never well any more, and we had to depend on our children and our friends to take us to church and places we needed to go. From this time on we spent our lives together at home. I cared for him the best I could. He was in and out of the hospital, and he bore his suffering and never seemed to worry. He always had a smile for everyone he met. Gone is the face we loved so dear, silent is the voice we loved to hear, too far away for voice or speech, but not too far for our thoughts to reach. So sleep on, Ambrose, and take your rest. You have been a loving husband and father. I will meet you in the morning, when you leave your dusty grave.
