Alice's Story 1851-1937: As Told by Her Great Granddaughter

By Margaret Burke

Born the youngest of nine children, Alice Cooling was born during Queen Victoria's reign. After generations in Dorset, her entire extended family had emigrated to America. She arrived at age five on a sailing ship. The entire family settled in the pre-Civil War Midwest, most in the Rockford area. The Cooling family extended from New York to California by the end of her life. It also meant they knew each other less and less well. This memoir puts her daily and family life in the context of the places and times she lived. She was a lady with grit.
