(List) Aydelotte, who were natives respectively of Delaware and Ohio, was born August 18, 1838, in Montgomery County, Ind., whither his parents had removed from Ohio in 1837. His father became a resident of the Buckeye State when a small lad, and was there married. His mother dying in Montgomery County, Ind., in 1842, his father soon afterward moved to Clinton County, and at the time of the building of the Wabash & Erie Canal, took large contracts and continued aiding in the work until the canal's completion.

He attended two courses of lectures at the Chicago Medical College, and in 1864 located at Carlisle, Ind., for the practice of his profession, where he remained nearly three years, then, after practicing at Princeton a short time, he came to Greene County. For about six years, he was located at Newberry, after which he came to Worthington, where he has since remained in active practice, a part of the time as partner with Dr. L. P. Mullinnix. He has here built up a large and successful practice and has the entire confidence and respect of the community. In politics, he is Democratic and is a member of the Masonic and K. of H. orders.
