Julia A. Anderson and her husband, Benjamin L. Anderson were missionaries and arrived in China in about 1905/06. Through their hard work and devotion, they helped and established a strong Adventist presence in the province of Fujian.

In May 1938, Julia Anderson left for Hong Kong due to the Sino-Japanese War whilst her husband stayed behind in Kulangsu. He was later interned. After Hong Kong had fallen, she was sent to Stanley Internment Camp and later was repatriated with other Americans to the United States.
