Emily Haven was born on September 13, 1827, in Hudson, New York, United States, the daughter of George and Sarah (Brown) Bradley.
When Emily was three years old her father died, and several years later she was adopted by her mother's brother, the Rev. J. Newton Brown, a scholarly clergyman, who directed her education. She attended schools in Boston and in Exeter, New Hampshire, while her uncle resided in those cities, and received further training in an academy at New Hampton, New Hampshire.
Emily's youthful poems and sketches received high praise, and, encouraged by the admiration of her companions, she sent several of her compositions, signed Alice G. Lee, to a popular Philadelphia weekly, Neal’s Saturday Gazette and Lady’s Literary Museum. Acquaintance with Joseph C. Neal, the editor of this paper, followed, and in December 1846 she became his wife, retaining thereafter, at his request, her pen name of Alice, instead of her baptismal name of Emily. For a few months following her marriage she acted as assistant editor of the paper, contributing to it a lively column of social and literary chat over the signature of Clara Cushman. In July 1847 her husband died, and the young widow, not yet twenty, assumed his responsibilities on the periodical and carried it on for the next six years in partnership with Charles J. Peterson. While writing regularly for her own weekly, Emily also contributed to Sartain’s, Graham’s, and Godey’s.
In 1853, Emily married Samuel L. Haven, a New York broker, and removed to Mamaroneck, occupying there during her later years James Fenimore Cooper’s ‘‘Closet Hall, ” which she renamed “The Willows. ” She continued her literary work as Alice B. Haven, contributing regularly to the Lady’s Book for the rest of her life and frequently to Harper’s. She wrote for the Appletons between 1851 and 1859 a series of seven Home Books, designed “to show the bravery of a self-reliant and humble spirit, ” with such titles as Contentment Better Than Wealth (1853), All’s Not Gold That Glitters (1853), Out of Debt, Out of Danger (1855). Her work was well paid, and, having learned that “water-colors sell best, ” she produced pleasant, easily understood tales intended to inculcate a moral or correct a fault.
Regarding her talent as a sacred trust, she employed a large part of her earnings in relieving the needs of others. Her last long work, The Good Report (1867), was published after her death. In a vain attempt to arrest the development of tuberculosis, she spent her last winters in Florida and Bermuda. She died in Mamaroneck shortly before her thirty-sixth birthday and was buried in the cemetery at Rye.
