As a child, she lived with her family in New York, Illinois and New Jersey. After completing her schooling, she became a teacher. The day after her 1884 marriage to John Martin Polhemus in Reading, Schuyler County, New York, the couple traveled by train to Nebraska. They homesteaded in Industry Township, where they built a house that was destroyed by fire several years later. The house was rebuilt and has served as home for three succeeding generations. Alice was the mother of eight children: Mattie, Arthur, Carrie, Winnie, George, Charles, John and Alice. Two of her children, Mattie and John, died within a month of birth. Alice and John retired from farming in about 1920 and moved into Holdrege. She was widowed in 1921, the same year her mother passed away. Eventually Alice went to live with her daughter's family in rural Phelps County, probably because she suffered from dementia and could no longer care for herself. It was there she passed away. She was buried next to her husband John.
