SOUTH CAROLINA THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 25. 1926. y- i - A Tribute to the Late i ; Mrs. Anna Aldrich Addison The sun’s rays lingering over the little cemetery of the Church pf the Holy Apostle* in Barnwell, S. C., .seemed a tribute to the lovely Chris tian woman whose remains had just been laid to rest beside her husband and parents. The long rays of sun- i . shine seemed to hover over the graves of those she had loved and to light with brightness the carpet of flowers "covering the new-made mound. They seemed to link the personality of this <dear woman with those gathered to show her respect. The many lovable traits of Anna Aldrich, together with her unusual 1 mental ability always carried happi ness and appreciation to those with whom she dwelt or came in contact. The home in*which she passed her vrorlhood, so close to the Church of the Holy Apostles, had been built for the parsonage, and, when sold, wds bought by the Hon. James T. Al drich, father of Mrs. Addison. Thus, it was under the “Drippings of the Sanctuary” this seweet natured child was reared. She was always devoted to the Church of the Holy A postlfcs,, and, when grown, taught in its Sun day School, and 4 took an active part in all its work. After the Confederate War, the Barnwell people w^re left very poor, the town having been occupied by two separate divisions of Sherman’s army, who left the better portion of the vil lage in ashes. Here might be cited un interesting incident, whereby the 1 childhood home of Mrs. Addison was saved from the flames. Her father being away on military duty, her mother was left in sole charge of the home and children. While the out buildings on the premises were burning a nd the house itself threat ened. a young officer of a Pennsyl vania regiment appeared on the scene, and seeing the brutality of the soldiers, ordered them away! The eyes of the officer chanced to fall upon a picture of the Patterson Court of Arms hanging on the library wall, and he asked, with a surprised and Inquisitive look. "Madam, what is your name?" Her answer was: “Mrs. Aldrich.” Hut noting the look at the picture, Mrs. Aldrich added: "That is the Court of Arms of my ancestors. My mairkpi name /was Patterson." The officer replied: “My name is also Patterson. My ancestors came from Scotland and that is a picture of their Court of Arms; we must be related.” He left hurriedly as his regiment was on the march, but he took time to see high officials and procure an order prohibiting tlv de struction of the house apd to see that n guard was placed* on* duty force it. The garden.- and fieldsAftr- rcunding the little town wereVlaid waste and very little food-was saved 1 y the hous'Av»v.»s. Hut the fine heritage of Mr. and Mrs. Aldrich came t<> their support and their ehil- dren never knew until years later «>f the struggle of this noble couple to nurture and educate them. Many of the schools had to close under the stress of war and the evils which fol lowed. Mrs. Aldrich had been highly educated; she was a first honor gradu ate of the old Limestone College, an accomplished musician and) well versed in the classics. She assisted much in the education of her children. No wonder Anna Aldrich became the woman she was, for example and pre^' ceht both enriched her young life. As the companion of her gifted father, she was being daily educated, without realizing it at the time, in subjects often above her years. A great favorite in the social life of Barnwell, she was an inspiration to others in all that is pure and up lifting. In 1879^ in the Church of the Holy Apostles, she was married to Dr. C. B. Addison, a splendid and gifted man who had been a surgeon in the Con federate Army. T^iree .children were horn of this union, Isabel Aldrich, now Mrs. W. McLeod Frampton, of Char leston, S.—C„ Annie Coronius, now Mrs. W. ,1. Pojlock, of Philadelphia, and Charles A. Addison, of Philadel phia. For many years Mrs. Addison with her family resided in Charles ton, S. C. She was a devoted wife and mother, and a loyal Christian who never shirked duty. Endowed with breadth of mind and goodness of heart, she was wise in counsel, toler ant, generous, and sympathetic in her vice's, unselfish and charitable in thought and deed, ever ready to help all who needed her dependable co operation. ’ Literary by nature, she was a re markably well read woman, a fact appreciated by all who knew hef. Her relatives and friends valued her opinion* oft books, political matters, and all questions of the day. 'She was keenly interested in eurrent events. This living interest in every thing, together with her love, of young people, kept her yotrtig in thought and feeling. Even in her old hge, the youthfulness of her expres sion was often remarked upon. Her' face, lovely, sweet and gentle, yet revealed her ‘ splendid strength of character. iV^ Addison (lied about twenty- three years djefore his wife, to whom he gave the best in his life. In her old age she was tenderly cared for by her devoted son and daughters. Anna Aldrich Addison was of old New England ancestry. The Al drich family came from Derbyshire, England, in Ifi.li and settled in Men- don. Mass. Of this line the poet Thomas Bailey Aldrich was a de scendant. Robert Aldrich, the grand father of Mrs. Addison, moved to Charleston, S. (’., in early manhood. For forty-two years he was manager of the “Commercial Wharves,” the office now called Collector of Cus toms. So highly honored and beloved wh ■ he when he died, the Proprietors of the Wharves erected a monument -to him in St. Phillips Church yard. About your Thing* You Should Know TOO MUCH WEALTH.

The land there, year in and year out, produces seven crops of alfalfa per year under irrigation, more than nine tons to the acre, t The total cost of electric current for irrigating one hundred and fifty tons worth $28 a ton is $260., Any farmer knows the profit in that kind of farming.
