Alice was born April 18, 1912 to Harry and Jennie (Braak) Huisman in Worthing, South Dakota. In 1916, the family moved to a farm south of Miller. Alice attended country school in Glendale Township. After school she worked as a clerk in the Ames Store where she met her future husband Walter C. Johnson. They were married on January 9, 1932 at the Presbyterian Church in Miller. After they were married, they moved to the family farm south of Miller. While living on the farm, Alice did a lot of the farming while Walter was taking care of the chores. They also raised chickens and milk cows. In 1972, they moved into Miller.
She enjoyed playing cards, gardening, and sewing. Her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren were her pride and joy.

My deepest sympathy go out to your family, my mother Una and father Floyd spend many hours fishing with Alice and Walter. And they work together alot. Planting potatoes and gathering them and other seasonal items, She will be greatly miss. My prayers are with you.
My deepest sympathy, Alice will be missed by all. I have many good memories of Walter and Alice,and they were always there to help me when I lived on 7th street and also when I visited the family on the farm. However, good memories, help heal the sorrow and as time passes, you remember more and more the good times and memories, and the bad ones fade away.
