General Notes: Husband - Dr. Elerton Aldrich

---

He was reared on the farm, passing his early life in Erie County, Pennsylvania, and receiving his education in the common schools and at private institutions. He was an expert penman, writing a beautiful Spencerian hand. As a young man he devoted himself to agriculture first, afterwards becoming interested in the oil fields where he did pumping and general work. He continued thus for a few years, when he removed with his family to Michigan where he remained for a year or more, returning to Pennsylvania and taking up the study of medicine. After his graduation he went West, practicing his profession in Omaha, Nebraska; Dallas, Texas, and finally in Los Angeles where he resided until the time of his death.
