Eugene A. Eastridge was born on May 28, 1921. He was the son of Samuel A. Eastridge and Mary Noe Eastridge. Eugene served in the U.S. Army during World War II as a Private First Class in the 16th Infantry Regiment, 1st Infantry Division. He died on November 21, 1944 at the age of 23 and is now buried in Sharp Cemetery, Middlesboro, Bell County, Kentucky, USA. His unit reads as 116 INF 1 INF DIV on his gravestone.
