Julia was born in Lawrence County, Ohio to John Henry and Anna Agnes Geaskameir in 1872. She married Fred Knuth on July 30, 1889 in Saint Mary's Catholic Church in Pine Grove, Ohio.
She moved with her family to Detroit, Michigan shortly after her marriage. When her husband Fred opened up his saloon in 1905 on Junction Avenue in Detroit, she worked as the "bouncer" for the bar attached to their residence.
Julia was tragically killed on July 28, 1916 when the auto she was riding in was crushed by an interurban car on tracks just outside of Canton, a suburb of Detroit.
Her body and that of other family members was removed from the accident scene, prepped for burial, and buried in Evergreen Cemetery in Detroit without a funeral. A court order was filed against the undertaker who took control of the remains, the bodies were exhumed and reburied in a family plot in Holy Cross Cemetery.
