| Notes: | At the time of the January 8, 1920 U.S. Federal Census, Alice R. was 6 years old and living with her parents in their |
| rented apartment at
1502 2nd Ave. S., Apt. 403 in Minneapolis, Hennepin, Minnesota.
Her father was working as an accountant for the
railway. Alice and both her parents were born in Minnesota.
She was attending school at the time and could speak English.
At the time of the April 10, 1930 census, Alice was 17 years old and living with her parents at 3649 Elliot Avenue in Minneapolis. For $37 a month they rented part of the home of Axel and Ellen Erickson, a couple from Sweden in their early 60s. The house was valued at $12,000 (approx. $120,000 in 2001 dollars). Neither the Stickneys nor the Ericksons owned a radio. Alice stated that she was born in Minnesota as were both her parents. In June 1932, when daughter Diane was born, Walter and his wife Alice were living with her parents at 3649 Elliot in Minneapolis, MN. At the time of the Apr. 15, 1940 U.S. Federal census, Alice R. was 26 years old and living with her 30-year-old husband Richard B., 7-year-old daughter from a previous marriage, Diane, and her 53-year-old widowed mother, Ruby Stickney, in a home rented for $35/month located at 2600 Tenth Avenue South, Minneapolis, Hennepin, Minnesota. In April 1935 her husband had been living in St. Paul, Ramsey, Minnesota, but she, her daughter and mother had been living in the same house in which they were currently residing. Richard had had five years of college education, she had attended high school through her junior year, and her mother had completed her freshman year of high school. Daughter Diane was currently in first grade. In 1939 Richard was employed as a draftsman for Northern Pump. He worked 40 hours a week for 13 weeks and earned $225, although he had additional income from other sources. Alice was employed as a saleswoman at a retail store; she worked 15 weeks in 1939 and earned $175. In 1941 Alice and her husband Richard B. Qvale were living at 2600 10th Ave. S. in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Richard was working as a draftsman for General Mills. [Source: 1941 Minneapolis, Minnesota City Directory] Alice always wanted to be a ballerina but never had the opportunity. She loved dogs, especially cocker spaniels. Three of her cockers were Candy Kid, Jinx, and Taffy. She made dog food from scratch for them from horsemeat and sang special songs to them. At the time of her death, she and her husband Dick had a springer spaniel named Moxie. Alice passed away without warning in her sleep. Shirley Howe reminisces on Dick and Alice Qvale: "I didn't know him very well but I do have memories about your grandmother and Dick. Your grandmother was such a 'classy' lady and Dick was a good partner for her." -- from Jan. 7, 2002 letter to Rae Bordua |
