| Notes |
- [Broderbund WFT Vol. 7, Ed. 1, Tree #3244]
Alice's death certificate stated that she died at Granville Hospital and that she'd lived her entire life in the Oxford area. She died at age 84 of "uremia" due to "chronic nephritis". Her daughter, Maggie Hester, was the informant.
The death certificate stated she was to be buried at the family cemetery.
Alice's great-granddaughter, Phyllis Cates Parker, recalled her as being feisty! She was kind and sweet, but didn't beat around the bush about what she felt.
When Alice's husband had a stroke, they fixed up a bed for him in the lower level of the house. If anyone was inconsiderate and woke him up, Alice wasn't shy about letting them know what she thought about it!
Phyllis remembers Alice having a fenced English garden. Phyllis remembers their house being enormous. There was a hidden staircase that led upstairs and Phyllis loved playing in there. She also remembers a piano in the house. She said there was a church on their property also. She also remembers using their butter churn - the kind you turned, rather than the kind up pumped up and down.
Following her husband's death, Alice went to live with her daughter, Maggie.
