Alice married Will Arnett in Rutherford county, Tennessee, on May 19, 1878. The family migrated by train to West Texas in 1901, later settling in what was then Beaver county, Oklahoma Territory. According to one of her granddaughters, Alice collapsed from exhaustion and died after helping fight a prairie fire that had been started when one of her sons flipped a lit cigarette into the field.
