The remains of Julia & the Jack family were moved from Old Indian cemetery of Snohomish to Grand Army of the Republic Cemetery. Links to Julia's family members were already coming from her memorial linked to original burial location. (See Old Snohomish Cemetery description on FAG for info on what is left of defunct cemetery.) This virtual memorial page is effectively a cenotaph /pointer referencing original burial.
Excellent biography citing sources is at A Respected Native American Elder, Pilchuck Julia died of smallpox in 1923.
Julia said she "Pilchuck Julia" witnessed the 1855 signing of the 1855 Elliott Point treaty by which the Salish tribes were forced to cede their homeland to the settlers.
She and her husband Jack lived on the Pilchuck river and she supported her family making baskets. She was a "much-photographed person" around Snohomish, Washington.

The Tulalip tribe posted this video with more about the Pilchuck Jack and Julia's family:
Pilchuck Julia was originally buried in the Snohomish Pioneer Cemetery, but was possibly removed to the GAR cemetery in Snohomish with the building of Highway 2 in the 1940's. A marker was moved, but it is unknown if her remains were moved. The location of the Snohomish Pioneer Cemetery was on 2nd and Cypress in Snohomish, leaving Snohomish toward Monroe via Hwy 2. The bridge at 2nd and Cypress goes right through the near center of the old cemetery. The Snohomish Pioneer Cemetery is often called the Indian Cemetery, or Pilchuck Cemetery by the people of Snohomish. It was plotted as Snohomish Cemetery.
Pilchuck Julia may have been removed from this cemetery and reburied in GAR. See memorial for Pilchuck Julia Jack in the GAR cemetery, #28852121. A marker was created in 1959 but it is unknown if she is actually buried there.
Pilchuck Julia was regarded as Queen of the Pilchuck tribe. Her husband Pilchuck Jack was regarded as the King. Julia and her husband Pilchuck Jack lived along the Pilchuck River in a little house near the town of Snohomish. Pilchuck Julia helped support her family by making baskets, selling clams, and salmon. Julia was a master at predicting the weather and winter snowfalls and was knowledgeable about the weather in the Pacific Northwest. In a 1911 interview, Pilchuck Julia said, "I have lived along the River always." (Interview with Lucius Grant Folsom Dec. 1911; An Hour With A Queen by Lucius Grant Folsom published in The Overland Monthly, Vol. LX-Second Series, January-June 1913, San Francisco, ).
Julia died in 1923, after contracting smallpox. She was said to be age 83 when she died. Her obituary from April 25 said her funeral service would be at 6pm that evening and she was buried in the old Snohomish Cemetery at the east end of Second Street. She was said to have attended the Indian gathering at Mukilteo, Washington on 22 January 1855 when governor Isaac Stevens signed the famous treaty with the allied chieftains.
Pilchuck Julia and Pilchuck Jack had a son Peter Jack, who married Hattie. Hattie and Peter had five children, before he died in 1907 when he fell from a bridge near Snohomish at the approximate age of 32. Children of Hattie and Peter Jack were: Oscar (said to have cared for grandmother Julia and mother Hattie by catching salmon, gathering wood and caring for the garden), Ivy, Ray Anna, and Pete.
Both Julia and her husband have streets named after them. Jack Avenue in Snohomish, is named after Pichuck Jack, husband of Pilchuck Julia. Julia Avenue is named after Pilchuck Julia.
The final resting place for Pilchuck Julia, her husband Pilchuck Jack, and their son Peter Jack may be at the GAR cemetery in Snohomish, if they were actually relocated. It is believed many markers may have been relocated without burials. There was a monument created for the Jack family in 1959 in the GAR cemetery.
