  Edward Aldrich of Henrietta, after being confined to his room thirteen weeks from affliction incident to old age, died on the 10th inst. in his 84th year. He was born in Vermont in 1807, and came from York State to Michigan in 1844, and with the exception of five years, has resided since upon the farm where he died. As a pioneer he saw the wilderness and Indian disappear. He lived to see a large family develop into respectable citizens and settle near him. He saw all the earlier settlers, except two, pass before him to the silent land and at last at a good age, held in the highest respect by all who knew him, he quietly passed away. He leaves a wife, four sons and four daughters, who with the exception of two, were at the funeral. Two sons, Alfred and Frank, live upon adjoining farms and one daughter, Mrs. H. McCreery, also lives near. The U. B. pastor, Mr. Bradley, officiated the burial from the church. He sleeps in the Fitchburg cemetery surrounded by scores of earlier compeers. Requiescat in peace.
