[Berkshire Edge]
Alice Brock, who was one of the inspirations for the Arlo Guthrie song
"Alice's Restaurant" has died.
The announcement of Brock's death was posted on Friday, Nov. 22 on the
social media page for Rising Son Records, Guthrie's record label.
Back in 1964, Alice and her former husband Ray Brock purchased the St.
James Chapel building located at 2 Van Deusenville Road.
The building was originally the St. James Chapel, built in 1829.
Eventually, the building was expanded in 1866 and renamed the Trinity
Church.
Around the same time, Ray and Alice Brock also opened Alice's Restaurant
in Stockbridge.
Musician Arlo Guthrie was a friend of the Brocks and stayed with them at
the church during Thanksgiving.
The year was 1965 when both Guthrie and his friend Rick Robbins helped to
clean out garbage from the Brocks' property, which subsequently led to
their arrests for illegally dumping trash down a Stockbridge hillside all
because they could not find a trash dump open on Thanksgiving day.
