Julius Alexander Mittman was born on March 4, 1853, in Brandenburg, Germany. He emigrated to the United States as a young man, eventually settling in Texas. On April 13, 1879, at age 26, he married Meta Klappenbach in Comal County, Texas. They had four children: Rudolph Alexander, Egmont Felix, Melitta, and Olga. Meta Klappenbach Mittman died on December 29, 1897, at the age of 36.
Mittman established a career as a traveling salesman and was noted as a prominent figure in the trade for thirty years. By 1894, he was recorded as a traveling salesman, and by 1910, his occupation was specifically a commercial traveler in liquor. His work frequently took him across Central and South Texas, and he resided in Austin for some years, also living in San Antonio for a period. On February 15, 1905, in Travis, Texas, he married Frances Von Boeckmann Kurtz.
By 1920, Julius Alexander Mittman had retired from his travels. He died at his residence, 1600 San Antonio Street in Austin, Texas, on September 23, 1920, at the age of 67, following a lingering illness. His death occurred in the year national Prohibition began, a significant shift for his former industry. He was buried on September 25, 1920, in Oakwood Cemetery in Austin. Mittman was survived by his wife, Frances; a brother residing in Germany; and his four children: Mrs. Max J. Gruene (Olga) and Rudolph A. Mittman, both of New Braunfels; Mrs. Charles Earl Martin (Melitta) of Austin; and Egmont Mittman of Osceola, Arkansas. His life reflected the commercial expansion of late 19th and early 20th-century Texas.
