Alice Virginia Bane was one of five children born to Robert Lee Bane and Martha Ann Goodwin Bane. She was the second of three daughters and two sons. Of their two sons, one died in infancy and was not named.
Alice spent her childhood in Richland Township, Morgan County, Missouri where her father farmed his land.
On October 7, 1880, Alice Virginia Bane and Nathan Albion “Allie” Smith marry in Otterville, Cooper County, Missouri where they make their home for several years.
Alice and Allie had seven children between the years 1881-1899.
Surely their greatest heartaches were the deaths of two of their children. Young Walter Oran, their third child, died just a few months after turning three, on January 15, 1889.
Their youngest daughter, little red-haired Dixie, died just three weeks shy of being five years old. She was outside with her father who was burning brush when she got too close to the fire and her dress caught fire. She died within a few days of the accident on August 8, 1904.
When her mother, Martha Goodwin Bane, became ill in 1901, Alice, her sisters, and James’ wife, shared in her care giving. While her mother and father lived with her sister Lee, Alice, along with the others would stay over a few days each week to give Lee a rest. It was one of the hottest and driest summers on record and Alice, her sisters and their daughters took turns fanning Martha, trying to give her some respite from the heat.
By 1910, Alice, Allie, and their son, Robert, relocate to Fargo, Seward County, Kansas, near their younger daughter, Ida and her family. They live there for the next nineteen years until Alice’s death.
Alice died in 1929, at age sixty-seven, ten years before her husband Allie Bane.
