Julia Olvie Bice was born to Ardelia Shockler Bice and Gilbert Bird Bice in a small log home near where Box Creek flows into the Neches River in southern Cherokee County, Texas. The family moved around 1933 to the McAfee Farm House on the Honey Island Road near Beaumont TX where they did share-cropping.
Julia met William White at a Civilian Conservation Corps Camp Dance at the Honey Island Swimming Pool and they were married on June 24, 1935. Julia and William moved to Bowie Arizona with the CCC but returned to Beaumont by train when William contracted the Mumps and was discharged. They moved to Houston where William found work at Reed Tool Co. They had two children, Carole Lavonne born 1937 and William Steven born 1951. Julia entered college around 1967 and earned her LVN License.
When William retired he and Julia moved to their 90 acre farm on Box's Creek in Cherokee County, not far from where Julia was born, and here they lived a happy farm life. She worked at the Lufkin State School as an LVN until she fell ill. Julia developed Viral Heart Failure and was hospitalized for several months but suffered a stroke and died on July 2, 1991 at Hospital in Nacogdoches. William joined her July 7, 1999 and the two are buried in the Lynche's Chapel (Black Jack) Cemetery along side the road that Julia once walked to school on as a girl.
She was much loved by her children, family and friends and is greatly missed. We will see them both again.
