General Notes: Husband - John Nicholas Eckert

---

When seventeen years of age he left home and thenceforward made his own way in the world. He was a general mechanic and especially a millwright, and during early manhood visited different sections of Ohio and Indiana, where he built many mills. After he returned to Pennsylvania he married, and then bought a place in Slippery Rock Township. He had fine water power on his land and soon had both a saw and grist mill built, and these he operated in connection with tilling his land. Some years after the death of his wife he moved to a farm which had been purchased by a son and daughter, and there he died.
