Frederick Juliand
The Chenango American, Greene, NY, June 28, 1900
JULIAND: At his home on June 22, 1900, Frederick Juliand, aged 94 years, 8 months, and 12 days.
Hon. Frederick Juliand died at his home in this village [Greene, Chenango Co., NY], at one o'clock Friday morning, June 22, 1900. Mr. Juliand had been confined to his house for a number of weeks and had been gradually nearing the end for some time. His wonderful vitality, together with the watchful care and medical treatment tendered him, no doubt prolonged his mortal life for many days. Frederick Juliand was the youngest son of Captain Joseph Juliand, a French refugee, who fled from that country during the time when that Empire was in the throes of a mighty political revolution and first settled in Greene in the year 1798, his wife being Miss Hannah Lindsey, of New Haven, Conn. Mr. Juliand was born in Greene Oct. 9th, 1805. When 16 years old he commenced a course of studies at the Utica Academy and afterwards was a student at the Oxford Academy. When his studies were completed he entered into his first mercantile duties in Bainbridge where he remained some years. In 1830 he returned to Greene and associated himself with his brothers, Joseph, Lewis, and George, in the mercantile business, combined with farming. The firm prospered for ten years when it was dissolved by mutual consent and Frederick Juliand continued the business until 1860, when he transferred his business to his son, John R. Juliand. Mr. Juliand's religious preference was always for the Episcopal Church and he had been the Junior Warden of Zion Church in this village for many years. His politics were always Republican and he has been one of the most aggressive and able leaders of that party in this section of the State. Mr. Juliand has graced many public positions, first as postmaster of Greene, next as Assemblyman, then as State Senator in 1863 and again elected in 1866, each time with magnificent majorities. He was honored during the war of the rebellion with the management of several very responsible and dangerous undertakings, and while executing the same was taken prisoner near Norfolk, Va., and robbed by guerrillas of $6,000, a portion of the funds he was in charge of belonging to his town. He afterwards escaped and returned home. Mr. Juliand had been married three times. His first wife was Miss Jane Cameron Ringer, daughter of Captain John Ringer, of Geneva, N.Y. Their marriage occurred in 1835. Of this union one son was born, John Ringer Juliand, who resides in this village. In 1841 he was united in marriage to Miss Catherine Hayes, daughter of the Hon. Isaac Hayes, of Unadilla. She bore him three children, a son and two daughters. The son died in infancy, but the daughters, Miss Sarah J. Juliand and Mrs. M.H. Arnold, survive their father. Again in 1865, he was married to Miss Harriet R. Crocker, daughter of Hon. Benjamin R. Crocker, of Cambridge, N.Y. The story of this active and honorable life would be incomplete should we not refer to Mr. Juliand's citizenship during these long line of years. Mr. Juliand was one of the best of neighbors and a public spirited one. He was always in hearty accord with any object that would benefit in any way our beautiful village and he took great pride in his home life. It was there that the sweetness of his life shone in all its splendor. He idolized his family, and around the "old home" his heart was ever turning. We shall miss the venerable form and kindly greeting of our old friend. His stately and dignified presence will no more be seen upon our streets. His words of council are hushed in death, but the remembrance of his good deeds, his pure life and his upright citizenship will linger in our memory as long as life lasts. With the going out of this life the last of the original Juliand family, children of Capt. Joseph Juliand, has departed. All were worthy, active men, and coming into life when this was a wilderness, they left honorable records, and through their long lives--for all attained old age--they built characters to which their posterity may well point with love and pride. The funeral took place Monday after noon at 2:30 o'clock.in the church of his love, Rev. Henry E. Hubbard, officiating. A large congregation was present to pay the last sad tribute to the venerable and respected dead. There were many beautiful floral offerings, loving tributes to the departed. The burial was in the family plot at Sylvan Lawn [Greene, NY], and there, amid the sweetness of June, they laid to rest one of whom it may be truly said, "His faults were few, his virtues many."
