AYDELOTTE is the son of William L. and Frances Aydelotte, natives of Delaware and Kentucky respectively. The parents moved to Carlisle in 1863, where the father engaged in the business of wagon-making. Our subject was born in Florence, Boone Co., Ky., June 14, 1850, and when old enough, and after his arrival in Carlisle, engaged with his brother in the drug trade in that town, and continued thus until 1880, when he purchased an interst in the Sullivan Woolen Mills, a full account of which will be found elsewhere in this volume. He owns a one-third interest in the mills, which are doing a large business. He married Miss Lillie, daughter of Stephen and Sarah (Kennedy) Brunger, March 16, 1875, and by her has one child, Frank. Mr. Aydelotte and wife are members of the Presbyterian Church. He is a member of the Masonic fraternity, and is one of the most successful business men of the county seat.
