Alice received her grade school education at the country schoolhouse a half mile north of the farm and attended Dows High School. When a young woman, Alice moved to Chicago to find employment and later returned to Iowa where in 1938 she married Clair “Bill” Bridges and moved to the Bridges century farm located four miles northeast of Dows.
