Alice Alm was born in 1903.  She was less than 2 years old when the family moved to Binford.

Alice worked with her sister in the Binford Telephone Office (starting when she was only about 13).  Alice moved to Fargo with her sister Julia and while working as a waitress there met Charles Keeney.

In the late 1920's, they moved West. The couple built up a successful cafe while raising 3 children. Health problems forced Charles to retire in 1959. He died in 1961. Alice continued to enjoy working with the public as a waitress and hostess well into her 70's. 

Alice died in 1979.
