General Notes: Husband - Theo William Eckert

---

In assisting his father both on the farm and in his mill enterprises, after the end of his school days, Theo William Eckert found plenty of occupation until he was twenty-five years of age, in the meanwhile having learned the carpenter trade and worked at it for some time independent of his other duties. He then turned his attention entirely to the lumber industry, and erected a steam sawmill on the home place and operated it for a considerable period. Subsequently he went to the western part of Lawrence County, and from there to Beaver County and carried on a lumber business there for about eighteen years. His last field of lumbering was in West Virginia, where he was engaged for some four years. When he returned to Slippery Rock Township he found himself yet too young and active to retire from business, therefore he bought a valuable little farm. He also owned property at Rose Point. He and his wife were members of the Princeton Presbyterian Church. In his political views he was a Republican.
