"For a while after my father, Emmett Gibson, died, she sold Larkin grocery products. It was a mail order grocery. Then later on she sold a series of encyclopedia-type books. Later with the rest of us helping, she helped Cousin Walter with his vegetable garden picking berries and vegetables. In her later years she had a greenhouse."-LAB

"Cousin Alice lived on Pennsylvannia Avenue across the street from Uncle Walter's truck garden. As children we visited her often. The last time I saw her, she and her son Boyd were operating a greenhouse business. She had a remarkable knowledge of plant life. Although by this time her eye sight was extremely poor she could identify the plants by feeling the leaves. She gave us a bushel basketful of plants, which mother had planted on the terrace back of our home. For the rest of her life she enjoyed watching these flowers bloom from May through November."-E. Berkshire

Alice Boyd did two charcoal drawings of two presidents: Garfield and Grant. I have a business card of hers that says ALICE K. BOYD crayon artist, Prospect, Ohio.

"My father, Emmett Gibson Brown, was a carpenter and, when he and my mother were first married, they lived in Findlay, Ohio where he was a carpenter in a natural gas field. Then they came back to Marion where he built the house I lived in as a child and at that time he began to have trouble because of his tumor in the lower esophagus. Because of his illness he worked as a gardener selling garden products. He was about my size. I understand that as a young man he played the violin or fiddle, but I'm not sure. He had crooked teeth and he had never been to a dentist, never had any cavities."-LAB Alice Kempton BOYD and Emmet Gibson BROWN had the following children:
