Mrs. Ottilda Margaretha Eisenbrandt Aydelotte was born in Wills County, Illinois, near Chicago, January 16, 1863, and passed away at Del Norte May 17, 1938 at age 75. Her parents were Christopher and Margaretha Karner Eisenbrandt and she was the sixth of twelve children.
When she was about five, her family moved to near Parsons, Kansas, crossing the Mississippi on a ferry boat. Coming west to Colorado when a young woman, she found employment at Sublett on Cumbres Pass; and on September 4, 1885, at Antonito, she married Henry Clay Aydelotte, then a railroad section foreman. To this union eight children were born, two before they settled in our valley.
After a short residence at South Fork, the home was established at the ranch on Pinos Creek in 1893. Mr. Aydelotte died eight years ago March 28, 1830.
She is survived by two brothers and four sisters and her six sons: Joseph, Raymond, John Christopher, Elijah, Folon, Oroam, and Ernest, and five grandchildren. Two daughters died in infancy, Elsie Dean and Effie Ottilda.
She was a member of the Baptist Church, the Helping Hand Club and a charter member of the Order of the Eastern Star.
