Julia,
at top right with three of her daughters, married
Frederick Billings (1823-1890), above, a New York
attorney, environmentalist, railroad president and
businessman.
Today the family spread outside Woodstock, Vt., is a working dairy farm that is part of the Billings Farm & Museum, operating in partnership with the Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park. Julia appears in "The Parmly Sisters," a painting by Thomas P. Rossiter. And that's also her in the portrait at right. Billings, Mont., founded in 1882 by the Northern Pacific Railway as a home for its employees, was named for Frederick.
