Julian and his wife came to Missouri from Tennessee in the early fifties, they drove with ox teams and brought about seventy-five head of cattle with them on the journey. It required about six months to make the trip and as an example of the tedious trials of travel in those days it required six days to transfer their cattle across the river at Boonville, where they were ferried across on a small flat boat which was incapable of carrying more than two or three head of cattle at a time. The Julian family experienced all the trials, inconveniences and hardships incident to pioneer life in a new country, for when they settled in this section of Missouri they cast their lot well on the border of the frontier. To M. J. F. and Rebecca Judd Julian were born the following children: Alabama, married J. E. Delozier, Clinton, Missouri; Mary, married Joseph Beeler, Iona, Missouri; John K., Montrose, Missouri; Willis, deceased; Nettie, deceased; George, Clinton, Missouri; Martha, married Hugh Yandall, Sedalia, Missouri; Joseph W., the subject of this sketch, and James, Clinton, Missouri.
