She attended the University of Missouri School of Journalism, considered the preeminent school in that field. While there, she met tall handsome Vance J. Julian, a young law student from Clinton. Because of her outstanding ability in journalism, she was awarded the honor, sponsored by Dean Walter Williams of the School of Journalism, of traveling for 14 months around the world in the company of fellow student and lifelong friend Mary Shapiro to work and visit with the great newspapers of the world. Upon her return, she was married on September 24, 1931, at her parents' home in Paola, Kansas, to Vance J. Julian. The wedding was extensively reported in the Henry County papers.

Clinton Daily Democrat, September 1949 - Joe W. Julian, 203 North Carter Street, one of the older Henry County citizens, died at the General hospital Friday night, September 2, after an illness of three days. Mr. Julian, who was nearing his eightieth birthday, had been strong and vigorous despite his many years until his final illness. With his passing another of the sturdy pioneers of the county has passed into memory. Judge Julian had lived long and had grown wise in the memories retained by his active mind. He was born on February 1, 1870, a son of Madison J. Fiske and Rebecca Julian, who came to Missouri in 1855 from Tennessee a six months trip in wagons pulled by oxen and driving a herd of 75 head of cattle. M. J. F. Julian was a member of the 40th Regiment of the Missouri Militia in the Civil War. Joe W. Julian was born in Henry County, three miles southwest of Calhoun, one of ten children, all of whom had preceded the veteran Clinton justice of the peace to the Great Beyond. As a boy he received his education in the public schools of Leesville and when about twenty years of age he farmed for several years in eastern Henry County. He always recalled that period with pleasure and could tell many interesting tales of his experiences at the plow and also fishing in the streams. He moved to Clinton and entered the produce business with his brother, W. G. Julian, and they had conducted a large and successful concern. They shipped live poultry by carload lots to eastern markets and Mr. Julian often accompanied these cars. He was of that pioneer type that did not fear hard work over long periods and his energy and ambition was boundless. After ten years in partnership with his brother, he engaged in the livery and feed business and later became the owner of a grocery store, before his retirement. He served several terms as a member of Clinton Township until 1946 when the justices were replaced by the magistrate court under the new constitution. He was united in marriage on March 22, 1894 with Miss Janie Hall, daughter of John and Mary (Vance) Hall, also pioneer settlers of Henry County. They were married by Squire Cashman, and Judge Julian was quoted as saying it was a beautiful day. That marriage was a happy one and never were two people more devoted than this kindly couple. Seldom was one seen without the other. They avoided the complexities of our modern life and clung tenaciously to the simple elementary living of their pioneer ancestry. They observed their Golden Wedding anniversary with fond happiness. There were eight children, five surviving, Mrs. Philip (Elsie) Trainer, Clinton; Mrs. Floyd (Effie) Sperry, Clinton; Vance Julian, Clinton; Elmer H. Julian, Mill Valley, California; and Mrs. Dorothy McCool, of Knob Noster. Judge Julian leaves his widow, eighteen grandchildren (nine boys and nine girls) and one great-grandson. He was an active member of the First Baptist Church of Clinton, and his membership was true by deed in addition to voice. He faithfully served each pastor, and was remembered with sincere appreciation by these church leaders. It is questionable if any man in this part of Missouri had as wide an acquaintance as did Joe W. Julian. He had a fine intellect and was gifted with a rugged honesty and and simple directiveness in speech, word and action. His friends delighted to hear his tales of Missouri in the old days and he had a gift of whimsical humor that enhanced the telling. The First Baptist Church was filled with friends and relatives who came to pay their last respects to Mr. Julian, on Sunday afternoon. Interment was in Englewood Cemetery with the following grandsons and grandnephews and a nephew serving as pall bearers, David Payne, Floyd Logan Sperry Jr., William J. Sperry, Ira Estell, Alfred Julian, William Sorter, Bus Julian, Ralph Julian.

Clinton Missouri, Aug 13 1904 - At 15 minutes before 4 o'clock, Saturday, August 6, Wm. B. Justice closed his eyes on earth to find the heaven of eternal days. Ten years ago he moved, with his devoted wife, to one of the prettiest little homes in Clinton, on Third Street, where the afternoon of their lives has been spent and where they are endeared to all who know them. He was born in Carroll County, Tenn., Dec. 24, 1834 and had he lived until December, he would have been three score and ten. His father died when he was quite young and he was raised by an uncle in Kentucky, who saw that he received a fine education in Lavinia high school and Bethel College. He moved to St. Clair County, Ill., in 1856 and engaged in farming, coming to Missouri in 1867, where he settled on an 160 acre homestead four miles northeast of Clinton, which he still owned at his death. Mr. Justice was married the first time Aug. 27, 1856 in Illinois. His wife only lived six months and he was married to Miss Elizabeth Pulliam, Oct. 21, 1858, who survives. His fatal disease, heart disease complicated with dropsy, had troubled him for a year but for four months past, he had been helpless and confined to his home. Two children blessed the union, both at his bedside; his daughter, Mrs. W. B. McHenry, whose home is in Kansas City and has two daughters, Miss Maud McHenry and Mrs. May McCrew, who is the mother of the first great-grandchild, a pretty little three weeks old daughter. The only son, J. T. Justice, with his wife and one daughter, Miss Beulah, reside in St. Louis but expect to make their future home with his mother in Clinton. He was an upright man, a Southern Methodist and professing Christian since 15 years.

Two months ago she found employment at Charles Doll's near Urich, Mo. Two weeks ago while there, her two smallest children, a girl and a boy, took sick. The little girl took blood poison in her leg, and baby being so sick, came to Clinton to her mother's, Mrs. G. S. Justis, and brothers, where she could have the attention of good physicians and help to care for her sick babies. The little girl's leg got well after several days of pain and illness.
