The Fields Cemetery is a small cemetery located in a pasture South of Thrush Road. The cemetery is located East of the old Fields Mill in Township 61N, Range 20W and Section 8. The old Fields Mill was the second to be established in Sullivan County around 1843-1844 owned by Samuel R. Fields. It was for many years one of the oldest landmarks in Sullivan County. It was equipped with "two runs of Buhrs, one for grinding wheat, the other one for corn". There was also a saw for lumber, capable of sawing about 1000 feet of lumber per day. Each Buhr was capable of grinding about five bushels per hour, but the water wheel, which was a "tub wheel", could not propel both sets of stones at the same time.
This Cemetery survey was completed on October 6, 2004. There were unmarked graves and broken grave markers so it was not possible to determine the names or dates of some of the burials. Mr. Fred Reed, Milan, Missouri in December 1952, completed a survey of the cemetery. All data from the 1952 survey was included in the 2004 survey.
