Married at Fayetteville, NY on February 9, 1882 to James Duguid Carpenter.
She was the daughter of noted suffragist and abolutionist Matilda Joslyn Gage. Julia Gage Carpenter asserted to a newspaper reporter that the home had been an Underground Railroad station and that her mother continued to shelter slaves until the close of the Civil War, despite threats that she should discontinue the practice. In a biographical sketch of her mother in her personal scrapbook, Julia wrote, "Mother was [an] inveterate worker in the abol[ition] move[ment] & her home was ‘An Underground RR Station' where runaway slaves were helped on their way to freedom."

Julia Louise (1851-1931) attended a teacher training course at Syracuse University starting in 1871, and worked as a teacher until her marriage to James “Frank” Carpenter in 1882 (NYS Census 1875; US Federal Census 1880). They, too, joined Julia’s siblings in the Dakota Territory in 1884, homesteading near Edgeley, Dakota (Schwartz 2009:117). Julia and Frank had three children, two of whom survived infancy. Son Harry was born at the Gage’s Fayetteville house in 1886, and daughter Magdalena was born in Dakota in 1887. Youngest son James was born in 1889 but died soon after birth. Both Magdalena and Harry spent time with Gage and cousin Leslie at the Fayetteville house during the fall of 1891.

Lakewood cemetery at Minneapolis has records that she was cremated and the cremains were returned (to the family?).
Lakewood also records that her daughter, Magdalena Towers Carpenter Birch, was also cremated there in 1948- with ashes scattered in the cemetery. Perhaps they did the same with Julia's ashes. No grave stone has yet been found for her.
