AMOS ALDRICH DEAD
Well-Known Young Man Falls Victim to Pneumonia
Amos Aldrich, one of the well-known residents of the village, died Monday night at the home of his mother, Mrs. George N. Aldrich, on School street. He had been ill only five days of pneumonia and his condition had been critical almost from the time he was first stricken.
Amos Aldrich was a native of Woodford, a son of the late George N. Aldrich and had he lived until the 26th of the present month he would have been 36 years old. With his parents he moved to Bennington 29 years ago and the village had since been his home, although he had resided in Massachusetts both before and during the war. For some times he was employed at the state hospital t Northampton and during the war he was in the government service at Camp Devens and at Chelsea.
Before going to Northampton he was for a number of years employed by Fillmore & Slade at Bennington Falls and he had returned to that firm after his release from the service in February.
The surviving members of the family are his mother, one brother, Clifford Aldrich of Rotterdam Junction, and three sisters, Mrs. Green Grimmer of Pownal and Ruth and Julia who live at home.
The deceased leaves no children. His wife, who was Miss Bertha Hathaway, died about four years ago.
Few men of his young years were better known in Bennington and the southern half of the county. He was a social, generous, big hearted man who easily made and kept friends. He was closely identified with the local democratic organization, was a regular attendant at caucuses and meetings and took an active interest in his party politics.
The arrangements for the funeral have not yet been made but will be announced later.
