Description:
Historical Note: Julia Maria Pease, the second of three daughters of Lucadia Christiana (Niles) and Elisha Marshall Pease, was born on March 14, 1853, in Brazoria, Texas. When her father was elected governor that same year, the family moved to Austin; in 1856 they occupied the newly completed Governor's Mansion. In 1859 Governor Pease purchased from James B. Shaw an estate northwest of Austin with a mansion, Woodlawn, built by Austin architect Abner Hugh Cook. It was there that Julia lived most of her life. Carrie Pease Graham, Julia's older sister, died in 1882, and Julia and her mother reared Carrie's three children. When Governor Pease died in 1883, Julia became manager of his considerable estate. She died on January 19, 1918, in Austin, and is buried in Oakwood Cemetery.
