ALDRICH
Mrs. Z. S. Aldrich:
Mary Jane Aldrich, the daughter of James and Lydia Patton Lewis was born January 29, 1850 in Tippecanoe County, Indiana, the youngest of seven children. At the age of three years moved with her parents to Iroquois County, Illinois where she grew to young womanhood, and December 31, 1869 was married to William Riner in Onarga, Illinois.
In the fall of 1872 Mr. and Mrs. Riner came to Jewell County, Kansas homesteading four and one-half miles southwest of Burr Oak. In 1888 Mr. Riner's heath having failed, they left the farm and moved to Burr Oak where his wife faithfully cared for him until his death in 1907.
In 1910 Mrs. Riner was married to Z. S. Aldrich and in 1916 they moved to Topeka where Mr. Aldrich passed away in May 1935.
Mrs. Aldrich retained her remarkable health and strength until about four years before her death, but retained her mental faculties almost to the last.
Aunt Jennie, as she was lovingly known by her many relatives and friends was possessed with an innate sense of humor and a joyous spirit which enabled her to meet the varied experiences of a pioneer life with a courage and dignity which, combined with the fine qualities of true womanhood made her of such graciousness as to endear her to all who knew her.
She passed to her eternal reward after much suffering endured with great patience on November 1, 1944.
Funeral services were held Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock at the Burr Oak Methodist Church conducted by Rev. Arthur S. Berg.
Mrs. L. A. Pixler, Mrs. Elmer Alexander, Alfred Craighead and Marion Mizner accompanied by Vera Alexander at the piano furnished the music.
The pall bearers were all nephews of Mrs. Aldrich: Edwin, Charley, Russell (Lewis), Emmett Lewis, Homer Grubbs and Ed Duncan. Burial was in the Burr Oak cemetery.
