Born in Värmland, Sweden, Aldrin emigrated to the Midwest at age 21. He lived in Minneapolis, where he met and married the daughter of a Swedish minister. Aldrin caught tuberculosis overseas during World War I (1914–18) and was sent to Arizona to recover around 1919. He liked the West so much, he settled in Los Angeles.
