Alice Virginia Neumann

Alice was born September 3, 1926 in Ettrick, WI to Ross and Rose (Burns) Van Riper. She was baptized and confirmed at South Beaver Creek Church near Ettrick. As a young lady she moved to Altura where she worked for Altura Turkey Plant and the Hilke and Brosig families. She graduated from Lewiston High School in 1945. Alice and Henry "Hank" Neumann were married on November 27, 1947. They farmed south east of Altura where Alice took pride as she worked with Hank clearing the woods and laying out contours. She loved to dance, listen to old tyme music and enjoyed home cooking, canning, freezing and gardening. We will never forget the endless hours she put in to the 4th of July birthday picnics; all the good foods, softball and water fights. Her familiar "Here's a sample. Taste this. I tried a new recipe...from various farm papers." Will be sadly missed, as grandma was a great cook.
