IN MEMORIAM: CHARLES ALDRICH.

With Portrait {Plate VIII). 



Of the twenty-five Founders of the American Ornithologists' 

 Union, we have lost nine by death, the last of whom, and the sub- 

 ject of this sketch, being the Hon. Charles Aldrich ^ of Boone, Iowa. 



Mr. Aldrich was born October 2, 1828, in the town of Ellington, 

 Chautauqua County, N. Y., and died March 8, 1908, and was 

 therefore at the time of his death in his eightieth year. Although 

 active in his daily occupations, he had been in delicate health for 

 some years, when an attack of grip compelled him to give up his 

 duties. While he rallied from time to time, and entertained hopes 

 of soon returning to his work, complications set in and after an 

 illness of seven weeks he passed away. 



Mr. Aldrich was married at Knowlesville, N. Y., to Miss Matilda 

 Olivia Williams on July 20, 1851. She was in full sympathy with 

 all her husband's pursuits and was a member of the American Society 



' I am greatly indebted for some of the facts and data contained in this slcetch to 

 the late Miss Mary R. Whitcomb of Des Moines, Iowa, who as assistant Curator of 

 the Historical Department, was closely associated with Mr. Aldrich for twelve years.
