According to Jody Dillard:

On January 21,1895 Clarac Alma married George Woodland in Marlin, TX. George and Clarac were married in his home on the southeast corner of Walker and Houghton Streets by Rev. J. F. McLean, a Baptist minister of Reagan and Blue Ridge. They lived there for five years until Clarac told George not to come home if he could not find a better place to live. George walked down around the corner and located a house at 525 Gift Street and Woodland Alley, purchasing the front three-fourth acre lot in 1900, and the back three-fourth acre lot in 1917. They built a carriage barn, planted an orchard, pecan trees, gardens, and a berry patch. They had a well and a cistern, a workshop, storeroom, and smokehouse, and had a guest house in the back. George had blue eyes and dark hair which never turned gray. He was interested in political and local affairs, always voting until his death. He was a cotton and corn farmer, and a ginner --- working at that trade while in California for three years. In 1916 he bought 117 acres south of Marlin and ran the Live Oak Dairy for many years. In 1928, George and Orr A. Edwards, son of Margie (Dillard) Edwards, was a Jackson cousin of Clarac, bought two sections of land at Encinal, Texas. "Yad" subsequently sold out to George, and the land remained in the family until 1968 when his daughter sold it.

George and Clarac Woodland had only one child. Alma Clarac Woodland who married Kit Carson Pratt.
