Lewis L. Field, attorney at law of New Haven, was born in West Haven on the 28th of October, 1892, a son of Edward and Mary Elizabeth (Page) Field, both of whom are natives of Connecticut. The ancestry of the family is traced back to the Rev. John Davenport, who was one of the founders of New Haven.

  Lewis L. Field, after mastering the branches of learning taught in the public schools of his native town, continued his education in Booth’s preparatory school of New Haven and later matriculated in Georgetown University, from which he was graduated on the completion of a law course in June, 1916. He has had a remarkable degree of success for one so young in practice. He is now following his profession as an associate of Sheridan J. Whitaker, city attorney of New Haven. Prior to entering law school he had engaged in newspaper work and was a reporter on the New Haven Register for three years, during which time he did some very creditable reportorial work. He was also connected with the reportorial staff of several Washington papers prior to completing his college course and was editor of the graduation book of his class. He has recently been appointed assistant prosecuting attorney of the town of Orange.

  On the 16th of May, 1917, Mr. Field was married to Miss Marion Isabelle Francis, in Christ church, New Haven, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Alfred D. Francis, of West Haven. In both the paternal and maternal lines she is descended from ancestors who served in the Revolutionary war. Mr. Field holds membership in the Episcopal church, is a Mason and belongs to the Phoenix Club of West Haven. His political endorsement is given to the republican party and he has done considerable work in its interests as a campaign speaker.
