In the 1910 Cencus Alice is listed as having had 4 children of which only 2 were alive. So it is possible that Ethyl and Anthony died as youth.

Hi Terry- I just found your site yesterday. I am "step" related to your John Koberstein that was married to Sarah Goeller. Sarah is my G-grandmother. Edward Goeller was my grandfather, as you saw in the census listed as step-son. I know he treated my grandfather like gold and my grandfather really looked up to him. Edward was only 2 when his father William H. Goeller committed Suicide :( Sarah's maiden name was Sharke.
I Do not have the family verbal history as they are all gone. I have been trying to trace the lines for 2 years now to no avail. I see that you got the marriage information for Sarah and John. Can you send it to me? If you do not have it in electronic format, can you fax? 202-331-4857.
Let me know if you want more information on any of the lines even though we are not blood related.
I grew up in New York myself and have moved to Maryland and now work in Washington D.C.
Hope to hear back from you soon!
Kathy
