F. S. Aldrich, Wyanet, is the son of Warner M. and Fidelis
(Eddy) Aldrich and natives of RI, but were among
the earliest settlers in Steuben County, N .Y. where our
subject was born. His early life was spent in his native
county, farming in the summer and lumbering in winter. In
1854, he immigrated to Bureau County and has since lived on
his present farm of 190 acres, which was first settled by
John Yearnshaw. Mr. Aldrich is one of the oldest settlers
now living on the west of Bureau Creek. He was married
December 3, 1851, at Thurston, N. Y., to Miss. Martha Mowry,
