I've "rescued" an old photograph of Alice BORCHERS which was taken at the
Crow Studio in Portland, Oregon. The photograph appears to have been taken
in the early 1900's with Alice likely in her 50's at the time. Based on
limited research I was able to locate the following information regarding
Alice and her family:
Alice Harriett CHEADLE was b. 5 Feb 1853 or 1854 in Lebanon, OR to parents
Louise or Louisa Lodema "Eliza" LEE (b. 15 Jul 1834 in Jefferson, NY - d. 25
Jan 1902 in Linn Co. OR) and Richard CHEADLE (b. 13 Jun 1830 in Morgan Co.
OH-d. 2 Jun 1902 in Linn Co OR). Alice was one of 12 children born to this
couple including, Grace; Ellen Agnes or Agnes Ellen; Ada Mariette; Dean
Richmond; Kate; George William or Worthington; John Tollman; Gertrude; Eva;
Emory Melville; Alice Harriett; and Lewis or Louis Richard CHEADLE, all born
in Linn Co. OR between 1852 and 1876. Alice married Henry W. BORCHERS and
together they had a son William Cheadle BORCHERS b. 1889.
Alice d. 29 Dec 1938 in Portland, OR and is buried in the Sand Ridge
Cemetery in Lebanon, OR, her husband Henry died 5 Apr 1938 in Portland, OR.
