In 1920, James worked as an engineer in a local by-products plant, and he and Alice lived in her parents' home in Dunbar.

James' fate is not known. The federal census of 1930 shows Alice heading a household in Dunbar that also included her 41-year-old son Pug Ellis, 17-year-old daughter Phyllis Gable, nephew Charles Minerd (age 23) and cousin John Warman (age 5). That year, she was employed as the janitor at the Dunbar Methodist-Protestant Church.

In 1937, Alice was presented with her first great-grandchild -- the granddaughter of her son Eugene. But she also endured the death of her adult, married daughters Bertha Stewartson (year unknown) and Phyllis Irene Cherry (in 1953).

In September 1938, members of her women's circle at the Dunbar Methodist Episcopal Church threw a birthday party for Alice. "The affair was a complete surprise," reported the Connellsville Daily Courier. "The party was in the form of a handkerchief shower... Mrs. Doughty is an active worker in the church."

Suffering from heart disease and hardening of the arteries, with her mind senile from dementia, Alice passed away on Feb. 18 1961, at the age of 89. She is buried beside Phyllis at Mt. Auburn Cemetery, Dunbar. The funeral was officiated by Rev. J.D. Schrecengost. At the time of her death, she was survived by 15 grandchildren, 17 great-grandchildren and four great-great grandchildren.
