Aldrich, who at one time drove stagecoach between Augusta and Craig, was born Dec. 26, 1876 in Albion, Mich. He graduated from Albion High School and attended the Albion conservatory of music where he studied viola, violin and tuba, playing in the conseryatory orchestra and the Gales Celestial band.
Active in music circles throughout his life, he taught violin in Augusta for several years.

He was the first manual training teacher at Augusta High School.
Aldrich married the former Thressa Dannells, who preceded him in death in 1961. The couple was honored by Augusta residents at a reception for their golden wedding anniversary in 1955 and again in 1960 for their 55th anniversary.
Aldrich was a member of the Woodmen of the World fraternal society and received his 50-year membership pin in 1964.
Survivors include a daughter, Mrs. Marchie Buell, Augusta; five grandchildren, Ray Buell, Helena; Maj. Leonard Buell, of the Panama Canal Zone; Arthur Buell, Bozeman, and Mrs. Duane Marcott and Clyde Buell, both of Great Falls, and six great-grandchildren.
(Note: Manual training definition is training in the various manual arts and crafts, as woodworking.)
