Alberta Mae Wyatt was born on January 15, 1894, in Whitehall, Green County, Illinois. Her early life was spent in Green County but at the age of ten the family moved to Muscatine, Iowa, where they resided until 1909 when Alberta moved to Lincoln, Nebraska.
She was married in 1914 to George S. Aldrich. In 1916 Mr. and Mrs. Aldrich moved to Superior, Nebraska, where he engaged in the banking business.
Mrs. Aldrich was called Home suddenly and without warning between the hours of six and seven o'clock in the morning of Sunday, July 8th, 1923 being at the time 29 years, 5 months, and 23 days of age. She leaves to mourn her loss, a devoted husband, two children known to their wide circle of friends as Billie and Betty, and little George Junior born Saturday afternoon, July 7, 1923. In addition to the immediate family, she leaves a widowed mother, Mrs. Mary Wyatt, who has been staying the past few weeks with Mr. and Mrs. Aldrich in Superior, a sister, Mrs. Josephine Wyatt Johnson of Flagler, Colorado, and a brother, Shirley Wyatt, also of Flagler. She had endeared herself not only to the relatives of her husband but to a host of sympathetic friends all of whom mourn her going.
During the seven years of her life in Superior, Alberta Aldrich has taken an unusual and exceptionally capable place in community affairs. She possessed to a large degree the outstanding qualities of leadership and in social and community activities her place was one of prominences. Her ideals were high and in her work, either in social, civic, or religious circles, she placed everything on the highest planes. Her charities and kindly acts will be a living memory in many homes of Superior.
In early life she joined the Baptist Church, of which she remained a faithful member until she moved to Superior when she and her husband joined the Methodist Church of which she was a member at the time of her death. She was an active member of the Methodist Kensington, and when opportunity afforded was a member of the choir.
For the past two years Mrs.Aldrich has served as one of the Directors of the Superior Memorial Hospital. Her active interest and generous support were of utmost importance in the maintenance of that institution.
Alberta was an active member of the Woman's Club and of the Home Economics Club, in both of which organizations her cheerful smile and constant helpfulness will be sadly missed.
In the home she was an ideal wife and mother. Always interested in the future of her husband and children, she devoted many hours planning for their happiness.
She Had an abiding faith in God and his promise of Eternal Life and has left to her children and husband the heritage of an undaunted, unquestioned belief in Home, Church, and the Life to Be.
Thinking of her today, these words of Edward Rowland Sill come to us:
"Yet 'twill only be a sleep;
When, with songs and dewy light,
Morning blossoms out of Night,
She will open her dark eyes
'Neath the Palms of Paradise."
