Notes

Julia came to Texas in 1848 at the age of 19 years with her father and siblings. Her mother had died in 1844, and the family had suffered business losses. The family lived their first year in Texas as renters on the old Ernst place near Industry, but the father soon bought a farm that had been a part of Nassau Plantation. With this move they became neighbors of the von Rosenberg family.

Julia was a busy housekeeper who also found time to help friends and neighbors. She was part of a group of women who took turns cooking soup for sick neighbors. Her only outside interests were quilting parties and the midafternoon “Kaffee Klatch” with the other women. Small in stature and energetic, she wore her hair in braids tied around her head with a black velvet bow. She is remembered for her gentle manners, good fashion taste and home decorations.
