General Notes: Husband - George Mafflin Dallas Eckels

---

His life, until sixteen years of age, was passed on the farm, and in attending school, winters. He then entered Millersville Normal School, where he remained three terms; then taught school in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, for two winters. Subsequently he was principal of the Wickersham Academy at Marietta, Pennsylvania, for a year, after which he returned to Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County, and taught in the public school there. In 1878 he formed a partnership with W. H. Humer, in a general store at New Kingston, but sold out his interest to his partner in 1882. He was elected Democratic representative to the Legislature by the people of Cumberland County, March, 1882, and re-elected in 1884. He served on the committees of ways and means, general judiciary, education, constitutional reform, agriculture and elections. He taught two terms in the Cumberland Valley State Normal School, located at Shippensburg, Pennsylvania, and came to hold the chair of pedagogics and general history in that institution.
