Daughter of Tobias & Mary Eastman per Social Security Applications & Claims Index.

She married 1st to Joseph M. Thompson on 16 February 1904, Portland ME using the name Reba M.E. Lord.

When she married 2nd, Willie Parker Craig, 30 Jan 1915 in Portland, ME, her name is recorded as Reba Eastman Lord Thompson, a 38-year-old widow. For both marriage records, parents were Tobias L. [Lord ] Eastman and Mary M. Hobson.

*NOTE: In the newspaper account of Tobias Lord's death is this detail, which may account for his and his wife's connection to Reba Eastman Lord: "Mr. Lord married Miss Emma Eastman of Fryeburg, who survives him. They had no children, but a niece of Mrs. Lord's was an inmate of their home and treated as a daughter, and Mrs. Lord's nephew, Channing Walker, has lived with them for about two years."

The 1900 census supports this arrangement, where Emma Lord, a 57-year-old widow lives in Old Orchard ME. In her household are Reba M.E. Lord, b. Feb 1880, with designation of "CD" (?) and Chandler Walker, her nephew.
