Alice Morgan Person (July 28, 1840 – June 12, 1913), known professionally as Mrs.
Joe Person, was a North Carolina patent medicine entrepreneur and musician.
She manufactured and marketed a patent medicine of Native American origin from 1878 until her death.
Her third son, Rufus, continued to manufacture and distribute the medicine until 1943.Alice supplemented her patent medicine activities by using her musical skills to demonstrate pianos for keyboard instrument vendors at county fairs and state expositions throughout the South.
As a result, visitors to the exhibits at which Alice played requested she publish her folk-tune arrangements, which she did in 1889.
