Mrs. Carrie Williamson Eastland was born at Gonzales, Texas, in March, 1877. In 1908 she was married to Ralph Eastland, well known and pioneer merchant. They resided in Honey Grove, Texas until 1916, when they moved to Hugo where they have since made their home.

During their long residence in Hugo they have endeared themselves to the people and both of them are reckoned among our most highly honored and respected citizens.
Mrs. Eastland has been an active and devout member of the First Baptist church and has been active in civic and charitable work since coming to Hugo.

In addition to her husband, she is survived by one son and his wife, Mr. and Mrs. Milton Eastland and a grandson, Freddie Eastland, of Commerce, Texas. She is also survived by a sister, Mrs. Regina Jenks, of Hugo.
