(Heinen) Maus. As a young child, she moved with her family to the Pierz area where she attended country school in Districts 92, 71 and 104. Following her schooling, she worked at Britz's Market. She was united in marriage to Raymond John Kahl on June 10, 1957 at St. Joseph's Catholic Church in Pierz, MN. The couple made their home on the family farm near Buckman where they raised their nine children. Julianna enjoyed gardening, baking, canning, quilting, playing cards, all the activities of her children and grandchildren and praying the Rosary. She was a member of St. Michael's Catholic Church in Buckman, St. Michael's Christian Women, St. Michael's Society, St. Theresa Mission Group, DCCW and MCCL. Her faith and involvement in her church was very important to her. "Grandma on the Farm" always welcomed company. She always had cookies on hand. She still planted her gardens to share with all her loved ones. And for every family get-together, she provided plenty of her wonderful poppy seed bread.
