Alice Bevan Anderson was born on December 31, 1885 in Tooele, Tooele County, Utah, as the eldest child of Joseph Shields Bevan and Emma Elkington. She entered school at age ten, but her family later moved to Salt Lake City, where Alice attended Emerson School. When she was fifteen, Alice's father was called to build up the country in Alberta, Canada, and so the family moved to Stirling. The family lived there for a little more than a year, after which they moved to build up the town of Raymond. Alice was married on December 31, 1902, to William Richard Anderson, and they had their first child on September 29, 1904. Despite being told she would probably die if she had another child, Alice had a son on August 24, 1906. The next March, the family journeyed by wagon to Clarasholm, Alberta, Canada. They harvested crops there and then returned to Raymond in October. The following spring, the family moved to Utah, where they had a third child born to them. On June 4, 1908, they had another son born to them, although he died two weeks after the family returned to Canada. While in Raymond, Alice had two more daughters, born in 1910 and 1912, and a son, born in 1913. In that same year, the Andersons, made a trip to Dillan, Montana, and following, Alice took the children with her to Salt Lake City. Will meanwhile built a room on a ranch in Snowline, Montana, where the family could live. While Will worked in a different city, Alice and the children were joined by Alice's brother, Joe. In June, the family lived in a tent while Will continued his work. They then moved to Lima, Montana, where they rented a five-room house. On September 29, 1915, the family moved again, this time to Utah, where they rented a four-room house. Another son was born to them on December 29, 1915, and Will began a grocery business in Tooele shortly thereafter. In June of 1917, the Andersons had another baby boy, and in November of that year, moved to a large two-story house with four bedrooms. In June, th family moved again, into a home they bought, and they built a shop in front. On November 12, 1920, Alice had a baby girl, and on December 11, 1923, a baby boy. The family moved again to a brick house, and then in 1954, purchased land along the Jordan River, where they built a motel and trailer park. On May 26, 1961, Alice died in Salt Lake City from a coronary occlusion.
