Hi all, This obituary is from "The Richmond Dispatch," Richmond, Va., Thursday, July 30, 1885 issue, page 2. It was under the Petersburg column in column 2 of the page. "Mr.Alexander Aldridge, a native of Virginia,and for many years a wealthy landholder of Surry county, died last evening at Burkeville. Mr. Aldridge was the uncle of Messrs. Charles and John Q. Jackson, of this city. For the past several years he had been residing here. His death was sudden and unexpected. He was seventy years old. His remains arrived here to-day over the Norfolk and Western railroad, and were interred in Blandford cemetery." I am not related, just thought it may be helpful to someone.
