Lake Odessa Wave - April 1913

William H. Aldrich was born in Calhoun County, May 18, 1841 and died at his 
home in Bismark March 29, 1913 at the age of 71 years 10 months and 11 days.

He moved with his parents when a small boy to Ionia County Berlin Township 
where he spent the most of his life.  At the age of twenty-one he was united in 
marriage to Miss Cordelia Bennett also of Berlin.  To this union were born four 
children.  Rufus Aldrich of Sunfield, Frank who died at the age of 9 years, 
Mrs. Nettie Lindley of Ionia and Stephen Aldrich of Vermontville.  In 1882 
sadness came to his home in the death of his companion, the mother of his four 
children.  October 20, 1885 he was again united in marriage to Miss Gratia 
Daniels of Odessa.  To this union two sons were born, Waldorf and Owen who 
reside at Bismark and cared for their father.  At the age of 40 years, Mr. 
Aldrich united with the church and his whole life has been one of consistency 
winning the respect of the community where ever he has resided.  As a sufferer 
he was a marvel of patience for during the last few months of his sickness no 
one heard him murmur or complain.  He was a kind and loving husband and father 
and he leaves to mourn his wife, four sons, one daughter, one brother and one 
sister besides a host of friends.
