"On a whim today, I Googled my grandfather's name and, to my complete delight, found that someone uploaded a couple of pages from the 1923 Courier-Journal's photo spread on him.
 
One of these photographs brought a flood of memories...the one of my grandmother feeding her chickens.  My grandfather and the Courier-Journal were at odds,
 and many times my mother (Elizabeth Alice Fields) said the newspaper ran that photo to make her parents look like hicks during the political campaign.  
If that was the motive, it backfired, because the photo apparently won the hearts of farmers and chicken-lovers all over the state!  
This is the first time I have seen this much-discussed photo.
 

"I don't know who Mary is, whom you list on the chart as being a seventh child.  She does not appear in any of the family photos, 
and I never heard any of my relatives refer to her.  Did she identify herself as a daughter?

All six of the Fields children are dead now, my mother being the last to die on Sept 30, 1997 here in St. Petersburg, at the age of 83.  
My first cousin Tom Fields is a retired administrative law judge, living in Frankfort.  His sister, my cousin Anne, died a couple of years ago.
 
Because my mother was the last to die, she inherited lots of flotsam and jetsam from her brothers' estates, including lots of absolutely wonderful photos.  One, in particular, impressed me.  It's another outdoor photo in the day of horses and buggies of a political rally and picnic.  Looks to be about 1915, I would guess from the ladies' dresses.  If my memory serves, it is labeled on the back as being on a creek in Carter County.
 
I will root around in my boxes of stuff and see what I can find.
 
You certainly have my permission to post my earlier comment about that chickens picture.  My mother was still mad about what she considered a 
low political maneuver by the Courier-Journal, even sixty years later!  What really frosted her was that my grandmother raised exotic, 
prize-winning chickens, and the photo caption did not mention that.
 
Apparently, my grandmother was quite a character.  The story on her was that when the surveyors came through Carter County, 
laying out the planned placement of the new federal highway, they planned to take down a grandfather oak on the Fields property to make way for the highway.
Mamau asked them to save the tree.  They refused.  She asked again, a little more forcefully.  Again, they refused.  
Finally, she told the survey crew chief that her name was Dora Fields, and that he would be able to find her over there on her front porch, watching them. 
With a shotgun across her lap.  And she sure would appreciate it if they would change their highway and save that tree.
 
And, you know, after a brief consultation among themselves, they decided they could save that tree, after all.
 
My mother learned after Mamau's death that her actual given name was Belvadora, and not the shortened Dora.  
I guess she was named after the famous Belvadora Lockwood, but she absolutely loathed the name.
 
Fields Hall at Morehead is named after her because she was the first woman, ever, on the school's board of regents.  
Quite an accomplishment for a lady with an eighth grade education, which was typical for her era, of course.
 
One of the pecularities of my family is that a Fields sister (Mollie) and brother (Wm Jason) married a McDavid brother (Sam) and sister (Dora), 
thereby making all of their children "double first cousins," a term I'm pretty sure they made up.  Mother always said it used to aggravate her 
as a child that she could never claim anything distinctive about her ancestry, because her cousins could claim the same thing!"

Incidentally, I am the Patricia Dell Johnson identified as the youngest grandchild of Gov. Fields on the program for Gov. Fields Day, back in 1953, a copy 
of which also was uploaded to your site.  I remember that day well, even though I was only 5 or 6, because of the huge crowd that turned out for that event.
 
Like my grandfather, I am a lawyer, practicing in Florida."
