Widow of William H Atwell
In 1880, Julia, with husband and children, are located in Marion, Butler Co, PA: William Atwell 38 Julia Atwell 38, children: Carrie Atwell 6 Jennie Atwell 3 Linda Atwell 3m and Julia's son George Black 16
Based on her husband's age of 58 (per the headstone), he would have died about 1899.
NOTE: Looking at the 27 Aug 1850 Census, Julia was listed as 8 yrs old. The next month would have been her 9th birthday making her birth year 1841. The 1900 Census shows she was born in September 1841 and so does her death certificate. Her obituary has her as 87 yrs old. Based on information on these 4 documents, it appears her headstone was engraved incorrectly. Therefore, I will leave the 1841 as her birth year based on the documents.
Obituary is from the Butler County Record, Pg 8, 24 Jan 1929 - thanks to contributor Greg Black for cleaning up my copy:)
