Julius A. Mathews was born April 17, 1849, in Chariton County, Missouri. His 
father, Samuel Mathews, was born in October, 1810, in Mississippi, and was a 
farmer during his early life, emigrating to Chariton County, Missouri, in 1844. He 
purchased 160 acres in that county and remained until the commencement of the 
war, when he removed to Brunswick, and in 1861 engaged in merchandising. This 
business he continued for twelve years; then went to Kansas City, and after a 
short time came to Henry County in April, 1870. He was married in 1835 to Miss 
Betsy Avery, of Jack son County, Mississippi. By this union there were eleven 
children, six sons and five daughters, of whom four only are now living. Three 
sons died in the Alton Prison during the civil war, two in 1862 and the other in 
1864. The subject of this sketch came to Henry County in 1867 and embarked in 
farming. He has remained here since that time, with the exception of three years, 
while in his native county and at Kansas City, though not permanently located at 
either place. He was married June 17, 1867, to Miss Nancy Jane Bruett, of Henry 
County, Missouri. To them have been born six children, three sons and three 
daughters, five of whom are living. Mr. M. was elected magistrate in White Oak 
Township in November, 1882, for the term of four years. Himself and wife are 
connected with the Christian Church of Lucas. His political sentiments are 
Democratic.
