The winters of 1884 and '85 she pHHsed in tliia city studying music nnd paintlng, becoming especiully (proficient in the latter witli a view of glving instructlons in it. In these studies her faithful application was particularly noticeable even perhaps to the detriment of her heakh, and on her easel, at which she worked almost to the last, was left an unfinished palnting intended for a cousin who graduates tuis year from the university.

Thus slie peacef ully died as she had gently lived, beloved by all for her gentleness, generosity, forgetf ulness of self, and thouglitf ulness for others. Never did she speak unklndly of, or to others. All the vlllage loved her, and at the funeral which took place Sunday afternoon at her late residence, there was an Immense concourse assembled to pny a last touchlng farewell to Julia. The Sunday school children bore flowers wi;h wlnch they strewed the casket even to hiding It. Such a pure, gweet life is an inspiration to live o that deuth shall have no more terror to us than it did for her gentle spirit.
