According to "Low-Key Genius" (2011) by Barbara Geiger, Henry Field and Florence Lathrop were married in 1879 at her uncle Thomas Barbour's estate in Elmhurst, IL called Byrd's Nest. "Henry was the European buyer for his brother Marshall's business and so the couple returned to Paris shortly after the wedding. They had two daughters, Minna and Florence. Henry died in 1890 in Paris and Florence and her girls returned to Chicago, living at Huntington in the summer and the Field mansion on Ontario St in the winter."
"After seeing the work of renowned animal sculptor Edward Kemys at the World's Columbian Exposition in 1893, Florence commissioned two bronze lions as a memorial to her husband. The statues were placed on either side of the main entrance steps at the Art Institute of Chicago, where they still stand today..In keeping with the Lathrops' preference for anonymity, there is no plaque honoring the donor and the Art Institute publicity does not mention the Field or Lathrop names in connection with the lions." p 276.
"Minna married (1) Prescott Gibson and they had one child, Henry Field Gibson, who later dropped the Gibson from his name. He went on to become a renowned anthropologist who lived in Coconut Grove, FL. She married (2) Algernon Burnaby, an English aristocrat from Leicestershire."
"Florence Field married a teacher named Thomas Lindsay and later became a successful lawyer in Boston".
