Alice Green Hoffinan Timeline: Part 2
Submitted by the Pine Knoll Shores History Committee
Part 1 of the Alice Green Hoffman timeline, which appeared in the last issue o/The
Shoreline, began with Alices birth in 1862 and ended after WWI. A year earlier, Alice
had bought property on Bogue Banks and was about to return to Paris. Part 2 takes us
to her death on Bogue Banks and to the much later death of Alice’s close companion,
Gabrielle Brard, who was with Alice in her final years and was known by many locals.

1918, age 56. Alice Hoffman returns to Paris after the WWI armistice, having
caretakers maintain her Bogue Banks property, where she is raising Holstein-
Friesian cattle to give to France to replenish herds lost to war.
1919, age 57. The Post Office Department establishes the Bogue Banks post office at
Shore House, appointing Alice postmaster.
1920, age 58. Women gain the right to vote. A passport issued on August 13,1920,
gives Alices residence as North Carolina. She plans to leave New York on the SS La
France, departing September 8.
1921, age 59. The New York Times “Social Notes” reports “Mrs. Alice Green
Hoffman gave dinner party at the. Ritz-Carlton.”
1922, age 60. Alice sails on the White Star line RAIS Majesiic from Cherbourg,
France, to New York City, arriving on
October 3. Ship records give her a New
York address at 25 West 56th Street, and a
passport issued three days later, on October
6, has her residence as Avenue du Bois
de Boulogne, Paris. However, in 1922 her
long-term lease on 29 rue Bois de Boulogne
is not renewed, and she purchases Chateau
des Landes, Suresnes, Paris, France. That
same year, John A. ROyall sells the western
portion of his Bogue Banks property, which
later becomes Emerald Isle, to Henry Fort.
1923, age 61. Alice begins purchasing land
on the north shore of Bogue Sound near
the town of Mansfield to establish a dairy
farm. A Salter Path lawsuit establishes that
original squatters and their descendants
may live there, but Alice owns their Bogue
Banks land.
1924, age 62. Alices legal disputes with
the French government over her Chateau
des Landes property in Paris begin and
will continue until 1938. Alice travels to China as a guest of the British minister to
China, Sir Roland Macleay. She travels with maid Charlotte Baumberger and her
parrot Polly. Her travel time there was one month, and she stays for four months.
1925, age 63. Alice departs Yokohama, Japan, on February 9 aboard SS President
Lincoln. She arrives in San Francisco on February 21, and makes a four-day railroad
journey to New York City, where she proceeds to make major alterations to her
apartment in her building at 12 East 61st Street. Sometime later in the year, she
must have returned to France because she takes the RMS Majestic from France and
arrives back in New York City on September 29. For that trip, she gives her address
as Bogue Banks, NC.
