WILSON, Julia
Julia Homer Wilson, a highly respected, award-winning artist, died 
October 6, in Yuba City, Calif. Miss Wilson was born in Griffin, Ga., 
in 1910, the daughter of Mary Virginia Pritchard Wilson and Seth Homer
Wilson. Miss Wilson spent her early years in Griffin, moving with her 
mother to Charleston, S.C., in the forties after the death of her 
father. Miss Wilson was known for her outstanding pencil drawings of 
many of the old homes in Charleston, originals and prints of which 
continue to sell in selected shops throughout the South. Miss Wilson 
attended the Cochran School of Art in Washington, D.C., and the Slade 
School of Art in London, and she studied under Oskar Kokoschka in 
Austria and Robert Brackman in Connecticut. In the early 70s she 
worked in Zaire as a volunteer assistant to Dr. Birch Rambo at his 
medical mission. Miss Wilson spent the later years of her life in 
California near her niece, Mary Virginia McAfee and her nephew, 
William Bruce Matthews, who survive her. A simple graveside service 
will be held at the Oak Hill Cemetery in Griffin on November 5.
