Julliard, who was also a native of France.  His grandfather was a soldier under Napoleon Bonaparte, and was killed in the battle of Verona.  John N. Juilliard was early sent to Switzerland to be educated.  When about 15 or 16 years of age he returned to France, where he remained until 18 years old, and then was drafted in the French army, under the last draft made by Napoleon.  While his company was on its way to Italy, Napoleon's great disaster overtook him, and teh company was recalled.  Mr. Juilliard, returned home, and in 1820 married Ann N. Berlet, and by her had this family - Juliann, Charles Louis, Charles Frederick, Catharine, George, August D., and HannahMr. Juilliard having imbibed the spirit of freedom while at school in Switzerland, and having four sons who would soon become men subject to draft-duty, determined to cross the Atlantic and seek for himself and family the great boon of freedom in the United States.  Accordingly in the spring of 1836 he and family embarked on board a sailing vessel, and after a journey of thirty-sxi days arrived in New York.  After visiting friends a short time in Massilon, he located in Washington Twp., Stark Co., O.  After a residence at this place some time, Mr. Juilliard moved to Paris Twp., same county, where he resided until his wife's death, which occurred in 1875.  He then moved to Louisville, making his home with his son, Charles L., until he too died.  His death occurred in 1877.  Charles L., the subject of this biography, remained with his parents until 1846, when he and a brother obtained possession of a saw and grist-mill on Sugar Creek, following that business until 1849.  Mr. Juilliard at this time took the gold-fever, and packing some necessities he made his way to Wellsville, Ohio, there taking a boat to New Orleans,  From this point he went to the Isthmus of Panama, after crossing which he went to San Francisco.  Soon after his arrival, he in company with others, went to what is now Trinity County, where they mined and season, making an average of $12 per day per capita.  During the winter of 1850-51 he staid in San Francisco, and the next spring started out prospecting.  After quite a while unprofitably spent at this, he and brother purchased a train of mules, and began "packing" provisions to the miners in the mountains.  Soon after this they started in connection with their "packing," a trading post in Trinity County, and this business they continued with success until the fall of 1857.  Mr. Juilliard then came back to the States, and for three years was partner in a dry-goods house in Bucyrus, Ohio.  He then sold out and removed to Nimishillen Twp., Stark Co., O., where he has ever since resided.  In the spring of 1858 his marriage with Louise Feusir was celebrated, and to their union were born, Emma, August, Alfred, Lora, Clara, Florence, and Etta, living; and Loui and Edward, deceased.  Mr. Juilliard is a farmer, and owns a large farm in Onasburg Twp.

JAMES H. JUSTUS, miller, Canal Fulton; is one of the prominent members and pioneers of the milling interests of Stark County.  He was born in Bedford Co., Penn., in 1820, and, until 14 years of age, worked upon a farm.  His father being miller, he subsequently learned millwrighting.  So much of Mr. Justus' life having been spent in the milling business, and in so many places, we only mention a few of his most important connections.  He was connected with Wellman's mill at Millport, Jackson Twp., for eleven years, going there as third miller, and for the last five years there had the charge and supervision of the mill.  He then went to Massillon and superintended the building of the present Sippo Valley Mill, now owned and operated by Warwick & Justus Bros., remaining there two years having charge of the mill.  He then returned to Jackson Twp. and superintended the rebuilding of the mill with which he had been formerly employed (which had burned, and, in connection with H. B. Wellman and David Fahs, conducted the mill for three years as a partner, and for two years as Superintendent.  He then engaged in milling in the old mill known as Earl's Mill, near Massillon, with several parties as partners, for seven years, and soon after bought an interest in the Sippo Mills, with J. G. Warwick, under the name of J. H. Justus & Co., his brother, William H. Justus, subsequently becoming a partner; he continued in this association for about eight years, and in 1874 sold his interest to Warwick.  Returning to Millport, he bought the old mill there, in connection with William Kitchen continuing there with different parties for several years.  His next venture was in the lumber trade in Massillon, with E. B. Leighley, and conducting a planing-mill in connection for two years.  In 1881, in connection with Warwick & Justus, of Massillon, he bought the flouring-mill at Canal Fulton, which he has refitted and improved, and is now engaged in pursuing the calling to which he is eminently fitted, and in which he has devoted nearly half a century.  The mill at Fulton is run by steam, and contains four runs of stone.  Mr. Justus was married, in 1848, to Lavina Beatty, of Lawrence Twp., daughter of James Beatty, of Lawrence Twp., daughter of James Beatty one of the pioneers of the county.  They have had eight children, only three now surviving - Anna, Lee and Harry  While in Massillon, Mr. Justus served as Township Treasurer and Trustee, as member of the School Baord and Council, and was one of the Directors and stockholders of the rolling-mills.
