Alice (Robinson) Kinkel was the youngest of seven children, and the only girl to survive to adulthood. Her marriage to George Kinkel in Fort Morgan, CO, in March 1903, was celebrated with about 60 guests - a large wedding in those days.
Their first two children were born in Fort Morgan. The third child, a daughter, died within days of her birth. Not long afterward, the family went to California, returning after a couple of years to Littleton, CO, where their remaining children were born. Alice's mother lived with them from about 1910 until her death.
Alice was a dedicated to her family - very few photos can be found where she is not wearing an apron. With four boys, Alice had plenty of work to keep them fed and clothed. Every week, she had thirty white shirts to iron. She taught her very young granddaughters the art of ironing, beginning with napkins.
