Julius Alvin Bishop, born on February 26, 1867 in Hardeman County, Tennessee, was the fifth of eleven children born to David and Louisa Grantham Bishop. He grew up on a farm near Serles and first became a teacher, but soon turned to farming.

On October 15, 1891, Julius married Clara Belle Cornelius. Julius and Clara moved to a farm about 6 miles south of Middleton, where he operated a cotton gin. Then in 1906, they moved to a farm closer to Middleton where there was a better school for their ten children. Julius devoted his time to farming and managing his land near Serles, where he rafted his timber down the Hatchie River to Bolivar to market. About 1945, he retired from farming because of his health and moved into the town of Middleton. On January 9, 1949, Julius Alvin died at the age of 81 and was buried in Middleton Cemetery.
