Details of his life in Europe are unknown. Julius EWERT arrived in Baltimore aboard the SS Weimar on 22 Apr 1891, occupation listed as a miner. In spite of family legend that Julius came to the US with his wife and her family in steerage, nobody aboard the ship can be identifed with any accuracy as his soon-to-be wife, Wilhelmina. However, he is listed in the ship's manifest directly after the Obarowski family who would be living in the house right between Julius and his brother, August, in the 1900 Census. Their relationship is unknown - perhaps this was Wilhelmina's family? He married Wihelmina on 17 Oct 1891 in Cleveland, Cuyahoga, Ohio.
Although the family continually identified their homeland as "Germany" and "Prussia", it seems that they MAY came from the Piotrków Trybunalski area in Central Poland in the Russian Empire period, called by the ethnically German residents there as Petrikau. It'a a moutainous region with coal and iron mines.
Julius settled in Cleveland, though exactly why he came there isn't known. There was a strong German community already in place and other EWERTs are found pre-dating his arrival , but a relationship with them is unknown. Soon after his immigration, Julius' surname began appearing phonetically in records, such as the US Federal Census, as EVERT, though there's no evidence that this family used the variation themselves. His brothers did use EVERT, however. With the advent of WW 1 and anti-German feelings in the USA, he and his children began using the EVERETT variation. He worked as a wallpaper hanger and eventually as a mason with a construction company. He built the foundation brickwork of the home he bought for his family on Berhrwald Avenue.
According to his death certificate, his cause of death is as follows....Primary causes: General Arteriosclerosis, Cerebral Thrombosis; Secondary causes: Terminal Bronchiopneumonia, Prostatic Enlargement. A post-mortem biopsy of his prostate revealed no cancer.
"Julius Ewert / Everett, formerly of 4311 Behrwald ave. [abutting Lutheran Cemetery], husband of the late Minnie, beloved father of Martha King, Helen Day, Edward, Edith Halliwell, Elizabeth Weinbrandt, Elsie Jedacek, Julius, Walter, Raymond, William, Minnie Kamis, A[nna] Tomlinson and Emma Smythe, grandfather and great-grandfather, Thursday, March 26. Funeral Monday, March 30, from the Claus Funeral Home, 11200 Miles ave. at 2 p. m. Services at St. Mark's Lutheran Church, Pearl rd., at Ardmore ave., at 3 p. m."

"Julius Everett, Head of Large Family Here, Dies
German Immigrant Came Here in 1891; was 75 at Time of Death
Julius Everett, head of one of the city's largest families, made hard work and the welfare of his children life's first consideration.
A plasterer, he came here from Germany in 1891 and worked for Cleveland contractors to provide a home for 14 children, 13 of whom are still living.
"Our father worked very hard all his life," Mrs. Edith Halliwell, a daughter, said today. "They made him retire at 65 and he didn't like it. He said he could do more work than the young fellows."
Mr. Everett died Thursday at a private nursing home, leaving 22 grandchildren and five great-grandchildren in addition to his sons and daughters.
He had been injured in an automobile accident more than a year ago and his vigorous health had failed since that time. He was 75 years old.
Mr. Everett was one of the oldest members of St. Mark's Lutheran Church and attended services there until illness prevented.
His children are Mrs. Martha King, Mrs. Helen Day, Edward, Mrs. Halliwell, Mrs. Elizabeth Weinbrandt, Mrs. Elsie Jadacek [sic: Jedacek], Julius, Walter, Raymond, William, Mrs. Minnie Kamis, Mrs. A.[Anna] Tomlinson and Mrs. Emma Smythe. His home was at 4311 Behrwald avenue.
Services will be conducted at 2 p. m. Monday at the Claus Funeral Home, 11200 Miles avenue, and at 3 p. m. at St. Mark's Lutheran Church."
