The community was saddened Thursday
evening to learn of the death of
A. L. Aldrich, one of the oldest and
most respected citizens of the place.
Mr. Aldrich had been in failing health
for many months, but the end came
suddenly, and none seemed prepared
for it. Mr. Aldrich was born in
Barnston, P. Q., Oct. 21, 1848, being
the son of Guy and Chloe (Lock) Aldrich
of that place. He received a
common school education in that
town and Stanstead. He was united
in marriage at Stanstead on Feb. 18,
1868. to Miss Cynthia Newell Vance.
In the year 1870 he united with the
M. E. church, and the same year
moved to this place where he has
since made his home. He has held
nearly every office in his church,
being Sunday school superintendent for
many years, and also a teacher. He
was one of the most efficient workers
in every office, always doing honor to
his position and credit to himself.
He was for many years a member of
the Good Templars, and also of the
Masons and faithful and much be
loved by all his brothers in both
fraternities. It is doubtful if we
ever had in our community a man whom
everybody loved both old and young
like Mr. Aldrich. They had good
reason for this friendship. He was
always befriending people were they
sick his little gifts, flowers etc.,
were constantly coming to cheer and
bless. He likewise ministered to the
sick, helped the poor, conducted
religious services in the absence
of the pastor, and filled almost
every vacancy in the most capable
manner. By his cheerful manner,
helpful service, kind heart, he
won his way into all hearts. Everybody
had confidence in him, and
counted him a friend. For the past
twenty years he has been employed in
the railroad shops at Lyndonville, in
the office of the Master Mechanic for
fifteen years. He was a man always
loyal to his friends and his God, ever
ready to accommodate.on the right side
in every moral cause, and a power for
good everywhere he was known.
During his sickness there seemed to
be no end to the little delicacies
which his many friends bestowed on
him, flowers all the time, and every
thing else which would tend to help
or cheer him. He bore his sickness
with the utmost resignation and had
a well grounded hope of eternal life.
He leaves to mourn his death, his
wife, two daughters, Mrs. O. E.
Roundy of Lyndonville and Miss
Myrtie of this place, one sister.
Mrs. John Corlis of Heath, P. Q.,
three brothers, Levi of Suncook,
N. H., an invalid, Norman of
Marblehead, Mass., ill and in a
hospital, and Guy of Glover, one
grandchild, Miss Ona Roundy of
Lyndonville, besides many more distant
relatives and friends. The funeral
was held at the M. E. church Sunday.
