A darling girl to look upon, Alice was the youngest child born to William & Mary Alice Beechwood. She died at the age of 3, though the cause is unknown. According to John Jacob Beechwood Sr. (as told to his children), his little sister was always sickly and had a cradle by the hearth. When John learned of her death after returning home from school one evening, he was not surprised. It was an event long expected by the family.
