They were the parents of 9 children: Julia (1850 IL - 1890, Almon Steele), Mrs V Johnson, Andrew (1854), Martha Ann (1855-1932, Donald J. Jenks), Jenny (1857), Alice E (1859), Georgianna (1861-1894 CO, William Kelsey), Albert (1863), and Myrtilla Ermina (1866, James Shafer). COON RAPIDS ENTERPRISE - Friday , August 26th, 1898 - Tuesday afternoon about 4:30 Mr. G.N. Aldrich, while walking along the street opposite the residence of his son-in-law, V.M. Johnson, suddenly became attacked with heart trouble and started across the lawn to Mr. Johnson's home. But he had taken only a few steps, had barely stepped upon the lawn, when he fell upon his face and instantly expired. Word of the sad occurrence at once spread and in a moment many friends were at his side and tenderly curried him into the house. Mr. George Nelson Aldrich was born in Vermont Sept. 27, 1823. At four years of age his parents moved to New York, and at the age of 18 he moved to Byron, Ills. From there he moved to Columbus City, Wis., and to Coon Rapids in 1885. He was married to Miss Ann Morse, cousin of Prof. S.F.B. Morse, inventor of the telegraph, at Rockton, IL., in 1847, who survives him, giving them a happy married life spanning nearly fifty-two years. Nine children were born to them, six of whom they have sorrowfully laid away, those three remaining being Mrs. J.E. Shafer, Mrs. M. Johnson and Mrs. D.J. Jenks, all of Coon Rapids. Mr. Aldrich was a man of many admirable traits. He was congenial, of highly moral and religious nature with a strong desire and purpose to make the world better for his living, and succeeded in a large degree. He was energetic and frugal and laid up a reasonable competence to make the latter years of his devoted wife and himself comfortable. His mind even at the advanced age of 75 was strong, active and clear and his nature at times was as cheery as a child's. He was deeply sympathetic and we now recall so well and pleasantly how he sympathized with our departed wife, and how cheerfully he gathered cherries from the trees in his own orchard and gave to her and how kind she thought he was. What more or better could be said of any helpful life. All will miss him, but most of all his kindly and affectionate wife, stricken with the profoundest grief that can come to tiny heart, and the infirmatives of old age. There is not a heart but goes out for her in her great sorrow, but like the noble nature that she is bearing up with the fortitude that is only theirs whoso whole life has been one of courage, patience and goodness. The funeral services of the deceased will occur at the M.E. church at 2 o'clock this afternoon, Rev. Griswold of St. Paul. Minn., a brother-in-law of Mrs. Aldrich, conducting the services.
