RENSSELAERVILLE — Roswell Eldridge, M.D., was a Renaissance man who left deep impressions both in and beyond the Hilltowns. His knowledge drew from the fields of art, medicine, nature, automobiles, and more. Dr. Eldridge died peacefully at his home on Thursday, June 3, 2021, five days before his 53rd wedding anniversary.
