Alice Rose Summers was born March 1, 1887 to Rosine Blondé Summers and Alfred Arthur Summers in Chatham, Kent, Ontario, Canada. She was just a little girl when her parents moved to the lumber and glass-making village of Wallaceburg, Bothwell District, Kent, Ontario. Alice often stayed with her grandmother, Mary Jane Alliman Blondé, her uncles Henry and Charles Blondé and her cousin Alfred Blonde in Harwich, Kent, Ontario before emigrating to San Jose, California in March of 1893. Alice attended kindergarten, grammar and some high school circa 1893-1903. Her sister, Mary Ethel was born in 1894.
The Summers enjoyed the fanfare of Presidents William McKinley and Teddy Roosevelt's visits to San Jose in 1901 and 1903. They also survived the 1906 earthquake that devastated their neighborhood.
As a young lady Alice was worked as a clerk at Emporium O.A. Hale and Company and had her own listing in the city directory. By 1903 she was a member of the Ladies of Minequa Council, No. 43, Degree of Pocahontas. Her father gave her a diamond ring at her birthday party in 1904. When she married John J. Maloney a few years later, her father disowned her for marrying an Irishman. The Maloneys moved to San Francisco where John helped rebuild the quake-torn city. After their daughter, Alice Mae Maloney was born January 6, 1908, Arthur Summers made amends with his daughter and bought his first grandchild her first pair of baby shoes.
Alice, her husband and her daughter returned to San Jose later in 1908. They lived with Rose and Arthur while John worked as a painter for Southern Pacific. Their second child, Margarette was born in April, 1909 but she perished two months later of malnutrition. John was ill and after six months arrears' in rent, he left San Jose to work as a painter in Sacramento's warmer climate while Alice and their daughter remained in San Jose.
In May 1911 Alice's father succumbed to cirrhosis of the liver. Alice and her daughter, with Ethel and her husband moved to Sacramento later that year. Rose joined the Maloneys in 1912. Cousin Myrtle Milner joined them in Sacramento from Canada. She was Alice's lifelong best friend.
In February of 1912 Alice's first nephew Alfred was born, and her husband, John perished from tuberculosis. She worked as a housemaid at the Wetzlar mansion until she married James Wright Chard in September of 1915. Her divorced sister, Ethel married his good friend, John Bell.
The Chards settled in Portola, Plumas county, then moved to downtown Hayward circa 1922 so Alice Mae could attend Hayward Union High School. The Bells joined them in Hayward circa 1923.
In 1925, Alice's husband, James died, her daughter graduated high school, and her sister, Ethel succumbed to septicemia. Alice and her mother, Rose lived in a Victorian house on A Street while Alice worked at the California Conserving Company as a skilled cook for nearly 15 years.
In 1927 her daughter Alice Mae eloped with George Medina.
Rose passed away in 1928.
Ethel's sons, John, Richard, George and Alfred Bell often visited their aunt Alice to partake of her excellent meals at her art deco apartment on Smalley Street, which still exists today, and at her home on Pearce Street. Active in local clubs, Alice Rose met Seaborn Hall and married him in June 1939. The happy couple settled in Vallejo where they ran a security and private investigation service until Alice passed away on December 5, 1950.
