Alice Josephine Gunnels was the daughter of Joseph Gunnels of Jefferson County, Mississippi. She first married George Fredrick Raworth on 28 Jun, 1871 in nearby Richland Parish, Louisiana.
George Raworth had grown up in Charleston, SC in a pioneering railroading family but had lived in Atlanta before moving further south after serving in the Confederate Army for four years. George was a son of Henry George Raworth, of Charleston, SC who was one of the most written about and well known early railroad engineers of the early 1800's.
Alice and George had one child, a son they named William Fredrick "Bill" Raworth. Bill was born in 1895 shortly after his parents had moved back to the Atlanta, Georgia area. George worked as a conductor on the Tennessee railroad until his retirement. At that point George took up farming until his death four years later in 1901.
On 18 September 1902, Alice married Louis F. Evers in Atlanta, but this ended in divorce after several years. Because of the divorce, Alice dropped the "Evers" name and returned to her old "Raworth" married name. Later Alice packed up everything and together with her young son Bill Raworth, moved west to Waco, Texas as many other Americans were doing at that time. Waco was her final home until her death in 1951. Her son Bill Raworth also remained in Waco and married there until his death in 1976. Bill and his wife did not have any children.
