WHERE IS GEORGE BURIED?
Written for " Pickering Pitchforks" May-1994 by Alice Pickering
Palladini
"There is a huge unmarked boulder, in The Old Cemetery in Mendon, Ma.
and many throughout the years have written George1 is buried under
this boulder.. The reasoning being that George's land abutted the Old
Cemetery and it was the natural location to inter his remains. Also
other Aldrich's are buried near that site. However, in Uxbridge, Ma.,
(once part of Mendon, ) on the corner of Glendale Rd. & Aldrich St. is
an old Cook/Aldrich Historic Cemetery."
"At the entrance of this cemetery stands a Memorial stone & large
plaque that was erected by descendants of the first George and Jacob2,
and this plaque reads, " Buried Here ----------" George Aldrich, Jacob
Aldrich, Seth Aldrich, Samuel Aldrich, lyman Aldrich, Sylvanus Bucklin
Aldrich, Edward Irving Aldrich and that this Burying Ground was
restored by Richard Stoddard Aldrich 1955; 8th in direct line of
George Aldrich."
"The question is, did the family of George drive 10 miles in 1683 to
bury George in Uxbridge (then also Mendon) or did they go less than a
half mile and inter his remains in the Old Cemetery, that abutted his
land????"
"This question will probably never be answered in our life time nor
any other... I believe the Uxbridge Memorial plaque to be just that; a
Memorial Plaque to George1 & Jacob2 erected by his descendant and his
remains are probably under the boulder in the Old Cemetery in Mendon..
