Julie was a daughter of Jacob, a Russian tailor, and Lena Glasser. The family emigrated from Russia over a three year period (1887-1890). When he was 27, Jacob arrived first in 1887, where he established himself in a tailor shop before sending for his family as finances allowed. Jacob's wife Lena, then 27, arrived in 1889. Daughters Sarah, ten, Julie, eight, Mary, six, and possibly three other children arrived the following year, in 1890. Isadore (Izzy) was born in Philadelphia in 1891. By 1894, the Glasers were living in Washington, D.C., where a son, Samuel (Sandy) was born in 1895.
By 1900, five of the Glaser's eight children had survived, four of whom were living at their home 1207 9th Street NW in Washington. Jacob's tailor shop was a short distance away at 1221 7th Street NW. The family pitched in to help with the finances. At that time, Julie was a furrier and her sister Sarah was a cigar maker.
Julie married J. Maurice Bird, who was a manager in an upscale clothing store, on 4 Feb 1903. Rev. Dr. F. M. Bristol, pastor of the Metropolitan Methodist Church at Washington, performed the ceremony.
Julia was later owner of a Washington, D.C. dress shop known as Julia Bird Frocks, located at 1729 L St. N.W.
Julie's brother, Isadore (Izzy) ran a junkyard business in Washington and was an all-but-convicted bootlegger. Sandy, the youngest brother, died on 3 Oct 1906 in Middletown, Pennsylvania at age 11 of capillary bronchitis.
