After his father's death, his mother and managers ran the business and plantation until Henry's children grew up and returned from college with College Degrees. They did work part-time to assist their mother while they were in school.



Their father, Henry Hill Field left quite a bit of land in Caldwell County for his children and widow. William was the oldest son, he managed it very well for his mother, changing the profitable mercantile business name to "W E Field and Company." from Henry Hill Field and Son's. Over the years the family sold much of the land owned by his father and mother was sold to the city of Lockhart and Caldwell County. Many generations of the Field family lived in the home until it was sold by William Edward Field's great-grandchildren. The home still stands in Lockhart, Texas in its original beauty.
