    • The Mountain Eagle of 31 Dec 1908 reported the marriage as follows:

      Dr. D. M. Fields Chooses
      "Stolen kisses are the sweetest." Be that as it may, but more than a week before Xmas Dr. D. M. Fields went and slipped off and got married to the winsome Miss Mattie Adams, daughter of Uncle Steve Adams, of Cowan. The saying, "better late than never," is applicable in this case, so here, doctor, is wishing you and Cousin Mattie all the felicity that can come to a deserving couple. May each of you live long and do well.
