Personal Notes:
Alice was born in England and arrived in Australia with her parents in 1884 at the age of seven months. The family lived at Tivoli, Ipswich, Queensland, then on the Biarra property that they selected in 1887. Alice was enrolled at Biarra School in June 1888 at the age of five and left in Septemher1895.

In 1906 Alice married Herbert Walter Himstedt at the home ofher parents at Biarra. Herbert was a wheelwright employed by Jim Andersen, Blacksmith and Wheelwright at Esk. They lived in Esk until 1911, then briefly at Moore, then Yarraman where Walter worked with his brother-in-law, Joe Berry, a builder. At the request of Walter's former employer at Esk, they returned there in 1913, and about 1916 Walter became a partner in the business with his employer's son, Willie Andersen, where Walter worked until his death.

In 1915 they bought a home in Esk in which they reared their three children. The house was on several acres of land and included a tennis court that was open to friends and relatives. Alice was well known for her many kindnesses, and her cooking was much in demand for church and school fetes. Her father, in his later years, lived mostly at this Esk home, regularly visiting his rural interests at Bia"a by horse and sulky, and she nursed him during his final illness in 1938. Alice died in the Prince Charles Hospital in Brisbane.
