Garland, George Pratt, M.D., well-known young physician at Eunice, where he
is interested in a sanitarium, was born at Opelousas, La., Nov. 10, 1882;
son of Charles F. and Annette (Moore) Garland, the former of whom was an
attorney.  He died in 1904.  The mother is a daughter of Judge Joseph
Moore, and is now living at the family home in Opelousas.  Ten children
were born to their union, as follow:  Joseph Moore, now deceased;  George
Pratt, the subject of this sketch;  Charles Frederick, farmer, Opelousas;
Augustus Hill, attorney, Seattle, Wash.;  Sidney A., farmer, near
Opelousas;  Allen T., deceased;  Albert P., attorney, Ville Platte, La.;
Harry Wartell, Oberlin, La.; ninth, died in infancy;  Mabel, now at the
paternal home.  George Pratt Garland, in the course of his education,
attended Acadia college, Crowley, La., following which he matriculated at
Louisiana State university, and there remained until reaching his senior
year, when he entered the medical department of Tulane university, from
which he graduated with the degree of M. D. in the class of 1907.
Following the completion of his professional education, he began medical
practice in the city of New Orleans, associated with Dr. Moore; but after
about 9 months, changed his location to Eunice, where he has since given
his undivided attention to the requirements of his patients, and with
results that in all respects seem gratifying.  The doctor is a member of
the Catholic church, and is affiliated with the Free and Accepted Masons,
Knights of the Maccabees, and Tribe of Ben Hur.  In connection with his
medical practice, he is interested in the sanitarium at Eunice.  June 12,
1912, Dr. Garland was married to Miss Lula Lowrey, a daughter of Henry
Lowrey, of Washington, La.  Both of Mrs. Garland's parents are now living,
and the father came with his father from Mississippi, first locating at
Morrow La., where the elder Lowrey now resides.
