Alfred is the son of John Wilson and Sarah (Rank) Dice. He was born and raised in Southampton, Franklin County, Pennsylvania. His siblings include George, John Monroe, Mary, Jennette "Jenny", Charles, Minnie and Lillian.
With the introduction of railroad travel, Alfred saw family members move west to establish new businesses. Interested in new opportunities Alfred also traveled westward and for many years worked as a traveling salesman. Alfred initially moved to Ohio. From there, he moved to Iowa, Kansas, Colorado and finally Minnesota.
While living in Iowa, Alfred met and married Emma D. Acklin. The marriage took place on December 30, 1889 in Van Meter. She was the daughter of John and Caroline (Murray) Acklin. It is uncertain as to whether Alfred and Emma later divorced since Emma lists herself as divorced on the 1900 US Federal Census; however, widowed on subsequent records. Alfred and Emma had one daughter, Viola Marie (Dice) Crawford.
In 1900 Alfred became a member of the Century Road Club and enjoyed cycling events. Later that year, Alfred entered a physician's office for treatment for a cut wrist and bruised eye. From that point forward, he became disoriented and mentally unstable. His condition deteriorated to the point where he was admitted to Saint Peter State Hospital on August 9, 1901. He passed away one month later with the cause of death as chronic diffusion nephritis. Alfred was buried in Saint Peter State Hospital Original Cemetery.
