    Notes 
    • According the US Census for 1900, Ida Lee Felts Eason was born in 1884,
      making her 16 years old. At some point, Ida and one of her siblings put
      their ages back by a couple of years and she somehow "forgot" doing that
      later in life. Her old children weren't entirely sure what her correct
      age was when she died in 1934; she was only 50 if the year of birth given
      on this census is correct.
      Ida Lee Felts Eason was born in East Mountain, Texas.
      EAST MOUNTAIN, TEXAS. East Mountain is on Farm Road 1845 eleven miles
      southeast of Gilmer in southeastern Upshur County. It was established in
      the 1870s near a small rise named East Mountain. A local school began
      operating in the mid-1870s, and a Primitive Baptist church was organized
      around the same time. Sam Slater settledin the area in the late 1870s
      and built a horse-powered cotton gin; a short time later Thomas Wells
      built a steam cotton gin and sawmill. A post office under the name
      Savannah was opened in 1902 with H. B. Jones as postmaster. It was closed
      in 1905, and the name of the town was changed to East Mountain a short
      time later. Oil was discovered in the 1930s, and a number of local
      families quickly became wealthy. At the height of the oil boom the school
      and all of the town's churches had producing wells. By the mid-1930s East
      Mountain had a three-teacher school, three churches, a store, and a
      number of houses. In 1940 the estimated population was seventy-five. In
      the mid-1960s East Mountain had five churches, a large district school,
      and two cemeteries. In the 1980s the town served as a commercial center
      for area farmers and ranchers andas a bedroom community for nearby
      Longview. The population in 1990 was 762.
