Father* Crayton Hall Conger1 b. 24 Apr 1825, d. 22 May 1880
Mother* Louisa Agnes Shove b. 24 Jun 1841, d. c 1943
Birth*8 July 1870Alice Shove Conger was born on 8 July 1870. 
(Daughter) ResidenceAround the time of the Great Chicago Fire, which occurred 8 Oct 1871, baby Alice moved with her parents, Crayton Hall and Louisa (Shove) Conger to a farm near Oneida, Knox County, Illinois. Alice's two letters contradict each other regarding the timing of the family's move. Her "c1935" source said the move was just prior to the fire and her "c1950" notes stated it was shortly after.2,3,4,5
(Daughter) Relocation12 April 1878Not long after moving his family to the farm in Oneida, Crayton's health began to fail. Thinking that a change in climate might help, he and Louisa moved his family to New Mexico in 1877. Their daughter, Alice, was 7 years old and wrote that she had only a dim recollection of the long journey. Son Roy was 4, Elizabeth 1, and Hazel was just an infant. Crayton's older son, Arthur, and his family made the trip also. Arthur was 26, his wife Ella was 21, and their young daughter Lucy was 3.

At that time, Trinidad, Colorado was the end of the railroad line and the family made the remainder of the trip to New Mexico on the Santa Fe Trail by stagecoach. It was a tiring and dusty trip, and would have been especially so for the young children. Crayton and his son, Arthur, invested together in the purchase of what was commonly known then as a "Post Traders" store at Fort Union, Mora County, New Mexico. Crayton was appointed as the post trader and they bought the Sutler's store on 12 April 1878.6,3,4
Marriage*15 June 1892She married Guy Hunter, son of Dr. Andrew O. Hunter and Eliza Heaton, on 15 June 1892.3,4,1 
Education*between 1895 and 1898Alice was educated in the field of Dentistry between 1895 and 1898 at Northwestern University, Evanston, Cook County, Illinois, graduating with a degree of D.D.S. "with honors" in 1898 and earning a Demonstratorship which was offered to a few in each class who held the highest grades. She was one of only three women who were the first ever permitted to study dentistry at the Northwestern University Dental School. At the end of her freshman year the Northwestern purchased the American Dental School, acquiring a large building with its equipment and many more students including four more women. With the additional students, upon Alice's graduation, there were 7 women and 180 men. Although the Dean admitted that she was among those entitled to a Demonstratorship, a paid position and considered almost the same as a post graduate course, she was not permitted to return for the years-work in the clinic which a Demonstratorship required because the faculty decided it would not be wise to permit a woman to teach or advise the men. She was, of course, very disappointed at the injustice. At the end of the next year, however, she was pleasantly surprised to receive an "Honorary Diploma" just as she would have earned had she been permitted to serve.3,4 
Occupation*She was a dentist, beginning her practice in Des Moines, Polk County, Iowa. After her graduation from dental school, Alice and Guy Hunter moved their family into a large house which was able to accommodate an office and its equipment and also provided living quarters for their family.3,4,1 
(Participant) Family Photo19 January 1903 On 19 Jan 1903 several photos of the extended Heaton family were taken at a family gathering, probably at William and Lucy Heaton's home in Des Moines, Iowa. Multiple shots of primarily the same individuals in different groupings are spread across the country among the Heaton descendants.
Family Photo*1910She had a lovely photo taken early in 1910 with her new son Robert Heaton Hunter.
Employment*She was employed by the School District. She was "in charge of dental exams for school children" in Des Moines, Polk County, Iowa.1 
Death*between 1958 and 1959She died between 1958 and 1959 in Des Moines, Polk County, Iowa.7,1

  5. [S7] Obituary of Samuel Shove, submitted by his son Josiah Shove, pages 223-225, although some of the lineage information, especially of the early Shoves in America, has proved to be incorrect. (Names mixed up and at least one generation skipped.) Samuel's son Josiah likely wrote parts of the obituary from his memory of stories his father had told him. And, of course, neither of them had any first hand information of anything before Samuel's birth in 1789. From this researcher's point of view, other sources should be considered more reliable -- especially on events and people of the 1600s and 1700s, Necrology of the Rhode Island Society for the Encouragement of Domestic Industry, for the year 1874, Providence, Rhode Island, LHB Notebook - Books, News, & Online, Santa Barbara, California.
