East, Samuel T., M. D., residence, Zachary, East Baton Rouge parish, La., 
was born at Mathis, Tex., July 9, 1879; son of Dr. Augustus Livingston and 
Arabella (Long) East, the former of whom was a native of Louisiana, and 
during some time practiced medicine at Lindsay, La., later going to Texas.  
The mother was born in New Orleans.  Both parents are now deceased, the 
father dying in Aug., 1892.  Samuel T. East was the last of 5 children born
 to his parents, these being, in order of birth, as follow:  John, a graduate 
of the medical department of Tulane university, degree of M. D., class of 
1892, now deceased;  Belle, deceased wife of Harry Johnston, M. D., of 
Wilson, La.;  Nettie, wife of J. W. Piker, farmer and live stock breeder;  
Albert L., M. D., practicing at Zachary;  Samuel T., the subject of this 
sketch.  The last named graduated from a military school at Clinton, La., 
not in existence at this time.  Following this, he devoted about 2 years to 
farm work, after which he entered the medical department of Tulane 
university, from which he graduated with the degree of M. D. in the class 
of 1903.  Shortly following the completion of his professional education, 
the doctor began the practice of medicine in and about Zachary, and has 
remained in that locality to this time, finding it necessary to give his undivided
 attention to the requirements of his patients, and meeting with a sincere 
appreciation of his efforts and gratifying professional success.  He is a member 
of the East Baton Rouge parish Medical and the Louisiana State Medical 
societies, the Southern branch of the American Medical association, and 
Kappa Sigma fraternity.  Dr. East married Miss Virginia Winn, a daughter 
of Wilson and Nannie (Mather) Winn, of New Orleans.  Mrs. East's father 
is now deceased, and her mother is now the wife of A. C. Bell, a civil engineer 
of New Orleans, formerly connected with the Dock board.  Two children have 
been born to Dr. and Mrs. East, namely:  Samuel McGhee and  Villa Belle, 
both of whom are now at the parental home.
