Born: April 1, 1881

Julia Conklin graduated from Saranac Lake High School in 1901.

A high school publication called "The Alumni" published the following a few years after graduation: "Our only girl member, Julia, prefers the air of Saranac Lake to that of any other place and remains at home where she experiments in cooking, etc. We hear that she is quite an artist in this line."

In the 1911 publication "The Alumni," she is described as "the Queen of our class," who in the past "was making first-class doughnuts and is now a great help to her mother in making 'dough' from her boarding house."

She was a director of the Pine Ridge Cemetery Association and of the Saranac Lake General Hospital, executive secretary of the Saranac Lake chapter of the Red Cross, and Vice President of the Ladies Guild of St. Luke's Church.

She is buried in Pine Ridge Cemetery in the same plot with her mother, Jane E. Hoag Conklin, and her sister Jean H. Conklin.
