| Weekly Journal-Miner (Prescott, Arizona) Wednesday, January 25, 1922, p. 2 Julia Emery, Noted Churchwoman, Dead Julia C. Emery, for 40 years general secretary of the Woman's Auxiliary of the Protestant Episcopal church, died last week at her residence in Scarsdale, N.Y., according to news received yesterday by Rev. A. W. Nicholls, rector of the Episcopal church here. Hundreds of Arizona women who have recently contributed to the Emery fund to provide for board, medical care, study, or recreation of missionaries on a furlough, named in honor of Miss Emery and two sisters whose zeal and active association with the women's auxiliary from the beginning have aided its growth from a meagre organization in 1874 to a world-wide organization whose gifts for missions have totaled $18, 000,000, will be saddened at this news. Miss Emery leaves three monuments to her memory, the woman's auxiliary itself; "A Century of Endeavor," the history of the first hundred years of the Domestic and Foreign Missionary society of the Episcopal church, published last year; and the Emery fund. Funeral services for Miss Emery were held at the church of St. James the Less, Scarsdale, N.Y., last Thursday afternoon. She is survived by two brothers and three sisters.
