Wilda, who went by Alice, was of Pennsylvania Dutch Quaker descent. Someone in Michigan whose great grandmother was her sister (Bertha) said her grandmother told her that they sounded like Germans when they spoke. So Wilda must have had at least some of the Pennsylvania Dutch accent throughout her life.
(Pennsylvania Dutch is Swiss German mixed with some English loan words following the English rather rather than Swiss German sentence structure. They were Swiss Mennonites and Amish who converted and intermarried with English Quakers in pre-Revolutionary war Pennsylvania).
Alice was born in Ohio near Dayton in Montgomery County. When one they moved to Wabash, Indiana. She would later move to Florida and divorce and remarry 3 times. Brace was her last and 4th husbands surname.
She is buried in Holly Hill, Volusia County, Florida (near Daytona).
