Publication Unknown.  October 1904
Julia, daughter of Aaron and Nancy Philips, was born at Youngstown, Ohio, 
October 23, 1852.  When two years old she moved with them to Iowa where the 
mother died four years later leaving her and two sisters to the care of the 
father.  At the age of thirteen she returned with the family to Ohio, and came 
to Michigan with friends four years later.  Here on July 20, 1870 she was 
married to Julius Anway.  To them were born three children, the eldest dying 
in infancy.  Twenty one years ago they moved to Omer, Michigan, where she has 
since lived.  Mr. Anway died in Florida, twelve years ago, leaving her only 
her two manly sons, who have been so great a help and comfort to her.

At sixteen years of age she joined the Christian church at Bluffton, O., and 
has since been a loyal and consistent Christian worker.  At her late home she 
was a member of the Methodist church.

Besides her two sons she leaves two sisters, Mrs. Frank Johnson of this place 
and Mrs. Marshall, of Nebraska, and a host of friends to mourn the loss of a 
devoted mother, loving sister and firm friend.  She died as she had lived, 
without complaining and thoughtful of others.  She is at rest in the assurance 
of eternal life and a reward for a well spent life.


Mrs. Anway was brought to the home of her sister, Mrs. Frank Johnson, a few 
weeks ago in fast failing health and there she received every comfort and the 
most tender care.  But ministering hands could only help to ease her suffering 
and were powerless to stay the disease.  She passed away on Thursday 
afternoon, October 20, 1904.

The funeral was held at the Apostolic church on Saturday afternoon and was 
largely attended, the pastor of the Methodist church officiating, with 
appropriate music by the Methodist choir.  Her acquaintances speak of her in 
terms of highest praise, and the verdict of her friends is that a good 
Christian woman has gone to her father’s home.
