Julius Baumann was born in Germany, and arrived in the U.S. in time to volunteer for service in the U.S. Navy during the Civil
War. He enlisted under the name of John Bowman and served in West Gulf Squadron. He received his American citizenship papers
in 1868; he married Henriette Ballin, who had emigrated from Germany with members of her family; and lived in the American
Midwest and East. He owned and operated a highly successful women's shirtwaist factory and died in 1916. Julius's daughter,
Doretta, was a debutante who attended secretarial school and married a milliner, Samuel Muhlfelder. Doretta and Samuel's son,
Gilbert, moved to Oakland, Calif.
