DIED. At his residence, four miles west of Burlington, Wisconsin, Elder William Aldrich, of paralysis, aged 69 years and 24 days.
Bro. Aldrich was born December 3d, 1807, at Lisbon, Grafton Co., New Hampshire; was married at the age of twenty-five, to Miss Hannah K. Montgomery, who now survives him; and in October, 1835, both himself and wife were baptized into the Church of Christ under the ministration of Elder Hazen Aldrich.
In the spring of 1836, he emigrated to Kirtland, Ohio, where himself and family continued to reside until September, 1837, when they moved to near Gallatin, Davies county, Mo., from which place they, in common with many Saints, were driven out by the Missouri mobbers in the dreary pitiless days of the last of December, 1838, having suffered the loss of all things temporal.
On leaving Missouri they settled at Warsaw, Illinois, and remained there something over three years, after which they located at Keokuk, Iowa, for six years; removing thence to his late residence, near Burlington, Wisconsin, where he lived for near thirty years, when, on the evening of December 27th, 1876, he was peacefully, gently, and triumphantly “gathered to his people.”
His general health had been seriously impaired for many years past, by partial paralysis; but notwithstanding the feebleness and decline of “the outward man,” “the inward man,” by the grace of God, maintained its joyful hope, its unfaltering faith, and unflagging zeal in Christ until the supreme hour when it passed away into the hands of that blessed God who gave it.
Br. Aldrich united with the Reorganized Church in 1859, since then he has done very much with his temporal means, his timely and edifying conversations, his extensive distribution of books and tracts, as also by his Christian deportment and ministerial labors, to advance the interests of the Church of Christ, and surely his works will follow him.
Many hearts will feel sad on learning that he has passed away forever from their society on earth; but they will be glad in the thought that he is happy now in the Paradise of God, in the midst of “the spirits of just men made perfect.”
In life he was highly respected and loved by a very large circle of relatives, friends, and acquaintances; and in death he is honored and lamented without distinction of class or sect. His name was “like precious ointment.”
Funeral services were conducted by the writer, assisted by Elder Thomas, of the M. E. Church, and Elder Bennett, of the Baptist Church, at the Union Chapel, Spring Prairie Walworth county, Wisconsin, December 30th, 1876. W. W. Blair
