Newspaper Obituary - Thursday, February 26, 1885 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - Orwell - Another of the brave soldier boys has passed over the dark river. George Aldrich died Wednesday morning, February 11th, and was buried on Saturday afternoon. The funeral services were held at the house under the auspices of the Grand Army, of which he was a member. The sermon was by Rev. Mr. Chase. He had been in poor health for a good many years, having the asthma very badly, also a cancerous swelling on his shoulder, which had been cut out twice but finally got to be as large as a two quart bowl. It had discharged quite freely for over a year. His last few years were years of suffering. He has been receiving a pension for about two and one half years. The funeral was quite largely attended.
