While there, s h e and her sister, Nellie, met two Mormon missionaries who persuaded th e m to come to Riverton, Utah, to marry them. On arriving in Utah, they f ou nd the missionaries already had two wives and were living in polygamy ; so , they refused marriage to them. Both Nellie and Julia found work . Juli a worked at the post office and sent money to England to help bri ng her f amily over to America. On 15 February 1887, Julia married Edward Ray in Bingham Junction, Uta h , now known as Midvale, Utah. He was born 22 March 1866, at Wolverhampt on , England. On 14 October 1891, they were sealed in the Manti Temple. T he y lived in South Jordan for about two years then moved to Salt Lake Ci t y where they purchased and operated a jewelry store for a number of yea rs . They sold the business to Sorenson Jewelry which still in operatio n i n 1985. Julia and Edward attend the Fourth Ward in which Julia sang in the cho i r and Ted was the leader of the choir. He also sang lead tenor in the T ab ernacle Choir for several years. They were both very good singers an d spe nt many hours together while her husband played the organ and bot h of the m sang. They later moved to West Jordan and after a short time built their hom e . Julia would serve a full-course meal every day for the workers. The y li ved there approximately 60 years when, in June 1951, Julia died. Sh e is b uried in the South Jordan Cemetery. Their son, Ted, and Wife, Zina, lived in part of her house and raise d a l arge family. Julia attended and took care of all the children whe n they w ere born and helped with them for many years. Their daughter, Ju ne, and h usband, Willis, lived in two rooms of the house and their thre e childre n were born there also – Julia, Rodney, and Ralph. When Ralph w as 6 week s old, they moved to Midvale, Utah and a short time later move d to Salt L ake City. Julia’s husband was a very expert watch make and had watches and clock s b rought into him from all over the valley. He was known as the best an d so metimes had twenty or thirty watches at a time in their home to repa ir. H e also worked at the Midvale smelter. He was a master mechanic an d stea m fitter. For the last 15 or more years of Julia’s and her husband’s life, they we r e very devoted to the Temple. They would walk four miles a day –two mil e s to the street car in Midvale – where they would go to the Temple an d tw o miles home at night after working in the Temple all day. After Jul ia’ s death, her husband lived for several years when, on morning approac hin g the Temple, had a stroke and died a short time later. Julia and Edward lived for two years at Saltair. He was a lifeguard. Th e y had comfortable living quarters over the water, and she always said s h e loved it as it reminded her a lot of England and the old country. He r d aughter, June, also lived with them. She loved it also because she go t t o ride the merry-go-round every morning as it was checked for repairs . Th ese years were enjoyed by all of them. She was very active in Relief Society and never missed going. It was he l d in the old Mud Temple. When the meetings were discontinued there, sh e w as active in the Midvale Second Ward for many years. She was a very good housekeeper and her wooden kitchen floor was very wh i te. The way she scrubbed it was on her hands and knees with lye soap a n d water. None of the homes in those days had tile or linoleum on the fl oo rs. She loved flowers and spent many hours in her flower and vegetabl e ga rdens. Julia was an exceptionally good cook and prepared many good m eal s for those who would visit her. She lived down a long lane and each side of it was a row of black and or a nge native currants. She would stand hours in the hot sun picking thes e . She would then take them home and would make very delicious pies. He r p ies and pie crusts were out of the ordinary. She would also make deli ciou s jelly out of the currants. She also raised chickens and ducks and took care of “Tiny” and “Star”, h e r two cows. She loved to sew and made many quilts, which she quilted b y h and. She also made a good part of her grandchildren’s clothes. She lo ve d them all very much. In spite of all the hard work and hardships, sh e al ways had a kind greeting and big smile for everyone; they were alway s wel come in her home and she was loved by all.
