Mr. Aldridge was a native of England, born in Worcestershire, Dec 22 1871. He was a son of George and Emma (Ewing) Aldridge. He came alone across the Atlantic when he was sixteen. He made his way first to Canada, where he had an older brother, George H Aldridge. Afterward the two brothers moved to Oregon and engaged in sheep raising in Lake county for ten years. In 1902 Mr. Aldridge and his brother sold their sheep and he then came to Idaho and purchased a ranch.
"Just before making the investment in this property Mr. Aldridge was married on the 20th of November, 1901, near Boise, to Miss Virginia Pease, who was born in Missouri. May 4 1882, and they have became the parents of eight children, namely; Gladys, who was born August 20, 1902; Elizabeth M., born November 11 1904; George Horace, October 7, 1906; Annie Virginia, June 26, 1908; Lela Mabel, March 27, 1910; Nellie Blanche, February 9, 1912; Clarence Herbert, September 9, 1913; and Emily May, March 1, 1915.
"Mr. Aldridge is of the Episcopalian faith, while his wife is a Methodist, and both attend the Ustick Baptist church. In politics he is a republican and was one of the directors of the local school at Ustick. He is now serving his second term in that capacity. He was also deputy postmaster at Paisley, Lake county, Oregon, for two years. Fraternally he is connected with the Masons, having taken the entered apprentice degree. The Aldridge family has been at Ustick since pioneer times and none living in the locality are more highly esteemed that Mr. Aldridge and his family. His fidelity in citizenship, his sterling worth as a business man and his faithfulness in friendship are all qualities which have established him high in public regard in Ada county."
"Herbert Aldridge, a rancher of Ustick, is the owner of six acres, constituting a well improved and valuable property adjoining the town limit and seven miles west of Boise.
He dates his residence in Idaho from 1901, at which time he came from Lake county, Oregon, and at once purchased his present place, for which he paid sixty dollars per acre...It was at the time simply a sixty acre tract of nice level land with a modest little house and orchard. Today it is a highly improved ranch property, in the midst of which, stands a substantial two-story residence of tem rooms, thoroughly modern, supplied with electric light, hot and cold water and all the conveniences of a city home. There is also a good barn upon the place and fine shade trees with well kept lawns and orchards. All of the improvements have been made by Mr. Aldridge and the place is a monument to his enterprise, thrift, care and business ability."
"Six years after he had taken up his abode upon this place the interurban railroad from Boise to Nampa was built in front of his house and in the same year the town of Ustick was platted adjoining his ranch on the east. The railroad thus brought him into close connection with the capital city, while the smaller town provides him with many things that are need upon the ranch."
