- Alzira_Peirce abstract "Alzira Albaugh (formerly Alzira Peirce, formerly Alzira Handforth Boehm) was an artist, mother, political activist, World War Two veteran, and radio announcer.Born on January 31, 1908 in New York City, Rachael Fisk, Becky Bahr, and Dwight Boehm were her siblings. They were all born in New York but moved to Circle, Montana to live as homesteaders after their father, Abraham Boehm, died. Their mother, Hazel Hunter Handforth (1883-c.1957), daughter of Benjamin Franklin Handforth and Allie Belle Hunter, was a suffragette, a homesteader once she moved to Montana, and a restaurateur in New York's Greenwich Village in the 1920s.Abraham Boehm (1841-1912),was a pioneering German-born Jewish New York City real estate developer, lost most of his fortune. (Established in 1882, the firm of Boehm & Coon had commissioned one of New York's first skyscrapers, the 11-storey Diamond Exchange Building (1893–94), as well as The Langham, a prestigious Manhattan apartment building. He also had also partnered with the inventor Sir Hiram Stevens Maxim in introducing gas engines to Europe).Alzira's childhood was marked by the aftermath of panic of 1907 and the loss of her father when she was only four. Growing up in Montana, Alzira played the harmonica, drew, and rode horses. When she was 13 she moved back to New York and sought employment through one of her paternal uncles, an architect. In New York she studied at the Art Students League and later traveled to Paris to study. She painted, sculpted, and drew many works of art. Her poetry was published in The New Yorker magazine.Excerpted from Peter H.

She then became active in party politics, as well as a union organizer, unusual for a woman at this time.Two of her children, Anna Peirce and Michael Peirce, went to boarding schools but her son Mellen Chamberlain (Bill) Peirce (who later married the radical British solicitor Gareth Peirce) lived with her during some of this period.Alzira Peirce moved to New Mexico and worked as an organizer for the United Mine Workers union.
