Julia Ann Sievert was born 31 Oct 1854 in Joliet, Will Co, Illinois[1], the second child of eleven known children of Vincent Sievert and Susana Raduntz. Her parents came from Schneidemühl, Posen, Prussia[2] which today is in Poland.

Julia married Johan Anton Hork in Joliet on 6 June 1872[3]. They had ten children, the youngest, William Cyril Hork, my grandfather.
John was a tailor and the family moved often when he searched for work. Finally the family settled in Hamilton, Ravalli County, Montana.[4] John and Julia were separated and John died in Sheraton, Wyoming in 1906.

Julia continued living in Hamilton until her death 4 Aug 1928.[5] I know she did some traveling as I have a photo of Julia holding my grandfather's first child in California. Julia was buried in Riverview Cemetery in Hamilton, Montana.[6]
