The Argus
Dec. 21, 1904

   The death of Mr. Bennett Fields, one of Goldsboro's oldest and most highly 
respected citizens, and a brave Confederate soldier, occurred at his home on 
Mulbery Street, West, last night about 7:30 o'clock, of paralysis.  He had 
been a patient sufferer for a number of years and died in the faith and hope 
of an eternal home beyond the skies, for he was a quiet, unassuming Christian 
gentleman, who owed no man any harm.  He leaves a devoted wife and four 
children, three girls and one boy, to mourn his death and to them the Argus 
extends its sincere sympathy, and directs them for consolation to Him who 
doeth all things well.  He was about 75 years of age.  The funeral will be 
held from the home this afternoon at 5 o'clock, conducted by Rev. W. F. Fry, 
pastor at the First Baptist Church, of which the deceased was a devout member, 
and the interment will be made in beautiful Willow Dale cemetery.
