Julia
Ann Hainer was the daughter of John Hainer and Nancy Bowman. She was
born on October 2, 1838 in Ontario. John and Nancy Hainer had eight
children; Mary Jane(1823), Margaret(1825), Diane Catherine(1827),
William Hamilton(1828), James Murray(1832), Charles Henry(1834),
Julia Ann(1838), John Wesley(1845).
Julia
Ann married Daniel Utter on April 16, 1855. They lived in Northfield,
Brant County, Ontario. Julia Ann and Daniel had 12 children;
Cardeer, John(1859), Annie(1862-1877), Melissa(1864-1877),
Mary(1866-1877), Charles(1871-1877), Rose Belle(1872-1878), William(1874-1878), Nancy(1875-1877), Nancy(1880), William(1882),
Roy(1885). Sadly seven of the children died between December 23,
1877 and January 2, 1878 from an outbreak of Diphtheria. Three of
the children died on the same day, December 27,1877 and two
children died on January, 2, 1878. I can not comprehend the
overwhelming sorrow that this family must have felt. Julia and Daniel
went on to have three children and they appear to have survived into
adulthood.
Julia
Ann died on December 27, 1899. Twenty
two years after losing so many of her children. She is buried in the Northfield
Cemetery in Brant County, Ontario with all of her children.
Rest in Peace, Julia Ann and all your children.
