Alice Maynard Popham was born January 20, 1854, Columbia County, Marcellon Township, Wisconsin to William Martin Maynard and his wife, Mary (nee: Chapman). No town is listed but it was near Pardeeville. Her parents were farmers, and since there were no small town hospitals, it was probably a home birth. Towns were not involved. That is why some, if not most, information of the 1800's lists counties and townships as places of birth rather than towns. Age engraved on the stone was 25 years, 8 months, 28 days (and date of death 10-17-1879). She was burned to death when a kerosene lamp exploded as she was carrying it outside.
Alice is buried in the North Marcellon Cemetery, which is near a small country church in Columbia County.
