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.

more than doubles its value by
bringing in the first crop much
earlier and getting higher prices
for earlier potatoes.
This column has already de
scribed the alfalfa ranch of the
Hodge Brothers on the Arizona
desert, where rain rarely falls.
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.
