Author: Luther A. Ingersoll, Editor (1893)

T. J. FIELD is a native of Indiana, born June 3, 1848, in Scott county. He spent
his boyhood in Kentucky, went South in 1863, where he remained until 1874. He
then entered the employment of the Louisville & Nashville Railroad Company, in
1865, and was for many years associated with railroad work. He came to
California in 1874, and for several years was in the employ of the Southern
Pacific Railroad Company.

  He was married October 24, 1882, to Miss Cutatina Danglada, a daughter of Don
Raphal Danglada (deceased). Don Raphal was a native of Spain and of French
descent, and a professor of instrumental music. He came to Monterey in 1849, and
in 1853 married Marie Antonia, the third child of Don Estevan Munras (a sketch
of whose useful life appears elsewhere in this work). Prof Danglada was for many
years the only professional musician in Monterey, and as a man was possessed of
rare social gifts.

  Some of his ancestors were celebrated scientists, an uncle being the
discoverer of the art of daguerreotyping, which revolutionized the early
practice of portrait-making. Don Raphal died at San Luis Obispo in 1867. His
widow,still surviving, is making her home with her daughter, Mrs. Field.

  Mr. T. J. Field of late years has devoted himself to the management of the
extensive interests of the Munras estate. The family home is the Munras adobe,
one of the finest specimens of the spacious early day adobe architecture in the
county, and is the birth place of Mrs. Field, her mother and her (Mrs. Field's)
children, of whom there are two: a daughter, Antoinette, born December 5, 1885;
and a son, Stephen J., born December 5, 1886.

  Mr. Field is a business man of absolutely unimpeachable integrity, and has
served as a member of the Board of Supervisors of Monterey county since 1884.
