Mrs. Alice Thacker
Alice was born December 31, 1884, in American Fork, Utah County, Utah, the oldest child born to Heber Jonathan and Sarah Ann Shelley Wagstaff. Alice had arrived in time to spoil her Mother's New Year's dinner, which was sent over by Aunt Maggie Wagstaff.
Her parents had a hard time deciding on a name for her. Father Heber J. went up to the canyon for a load of wood for the fire and decided to stay all night. He dreamed that night that he gave the baby the name of Alice, and he was anxious to get home to tell his wife about it. She liked the name, Alice, and added Jane after her mother, Jane Shelley.
It was at Sunday School that Charles David Thacker first saw Alice Jane Wagstaff. He thought she was the prettiest girl there and spunky too. He found out later that was true.
The romance between Dave and Alice developed. Dave and Alice went by horse and buggy to get their marriage license. They were 21 and 22 years old. Alice and Dave were married February 22, 1906 at her parents home in Charleston by Bishop William Daybell. Their family and friends were invited to a wedding supper after their marriage. Her mother had cooked for days to have everything ready.
Thsir first home was the old Turner home. a two-room house in a grove of trees. They had bought their own furniture before they were married and they received many lovely wedding gifts.
Their first summer was spent at his father's sawmill in Strawberry Valley. In the spring of 1908, Dave got a job at Top Lift hauling rock. They worked there for a few months and then spent that summer at the sawmill. The next spring, Dave and Alice rented his sister Tessie Murdock's house as they were herding their sheep.
Next, Dave got some ground west of Charleston by the creamery. He got a permit and got out timber and had it sawed at the sawmill. In 1909, Alice's father, Heber Wafstaff, built a two-room house for them and plastered it, too.
Their children: LaPrele Thacker, Ida A. Thacker, Lela Marie Thacker, Lois Thacker, Charles Heber Thacker, Vau Ness Thacker, Luella Thacker, Mae Thacker, Floyd Verl Thacker, Carma Ann Thacker, Lowell David Thacker and Lyle Vern Thacker.
