Alice Williams Ralls and Hamilton Blount Ralls became parents to two children, A.W. Ralls and Agnes Ralls. A.W. was born August 1881 in Coryell Co., Texas, resided in Etowah County, Alabama and is buried in Forrest Cemetery. Infant Agnes has a grave marker in Forrest Cemetery, so most likely the Ralls family were living in Etowah County at the time of her death. Infant Agnes may have been born before 1886 and Alice could have died during another childbirth. Due to states not recording death dates at that time, we have no confirmation of these facts. After the death of Alice Williams Ralls, Hamilton Blount Ralls married on Oct. 12, 1886 in St. Clair County, Alabama to Miss Emma Williams.
