Administration Account

In a 1933 letter to my grandfather, Harold J. Aldrich of Wollaston, MA (my third cousin once removed) states that John C. Aldrich died in Windsor Locks on 08 October 1893.

Harold indicates also that John C.'s daughter Abbie married a Wyman; the Ely Wyman listed in the account seems like a plausible candidate.

Duane B. Aldrich is John C.'s son, and Harold J.'s grandfather.
