Lula Hannah Ann Seaton was born August 20, 1900, in Oklahoma City, Indian Territory, the daughter of Francis Marion Seaton and Zora Naomi Cook.

In 1910, Lula was age 9, and living with her mother, age 40, and her stepfather, Fred Strait, age 30, in Upshur County, Texas. Living with them are Zora's children with Fred: Jessie Strait, age 4, Etta Strait, age 3, and William Strait, age 1.

In about 1918, Lula married Leonard Hillary Hugghins, son of Elbert Edward Hugghins and Etta Eugenia Stallings. Leonard and Lula were ages 21 and 18, respectively, when they married and made their home in Jacksonville, Texas (Cherokee County).

In 1920, Leonard, age 22, and Lula, age 19, were living as boarders in the home of Adelia Nichols, a 44-year old widow, who owned Nichols Photography Studio in Jacksonville. Leonard worked there as a finisher and Lula as an assistant finisher. Also living in Mrs. Nichol's home and working at her photography studio was Leonard's little brother, Ed Hugghins, age 17, who worked as an assistant finisher.

Leonard and Lula ultimately would have four children: Frances Etta, Marjorie Naomi, Gordon Leonard, and Marian Adelia.

In 1930, Leonard, age 33, and Lula, age 30, were living in Jacksonville, with their daughters, Frances, age 10; and Marjorie, age 8. Also living in the Hugghins household was Adelia Nichols, age 54, with no occupation. Leonard and Lula were still working in the Nichols photography studio and apparently by that time Mrs. Nichols had turned the studio over to them.

Leonard and Lula never changed the name of the studio which was owned by the Hugghins family until Lula died in 1980. Leonard was a member and officer of the Masonic Lodge and Lula was a member of the Order of Eastern Star and past worthy matron of Jacksonville Chapter 377. Leonard and Lula both attended the First Presbyterian Church of Jacksonville, where Lula served as a deaconess and was a member of the Golden Circle Class. Leonard also served on the Jacksonville school board for many years.

He died at age 56 in Beaumont, Texas (Jefferson County)and was buried in the Jacksonville City Cemetery. Lula died at age 79 at her home on February 11, 1980, in Jacksonville, and was buried beside Leonard.
