Eck, son of Adam and Eva Richert Eck, was born at Meno, Oklahoma on June 2, 1896, and passed away at Newton, Kansas on June 8, 1949, at the age of 53 years and six days. Mr. Eck grew up in the community of the New Hopedale Mennonite church near Meno, where he received his early Christian training. On June 14, 1914, together with 10 other young people, he was baptized upon his confession of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ as his Savior, by Rev. J. B. epp. He was received into the membership of the New Hopedale Mennonite church and remained a member of this church until the organization of the West New Hopedale Mennonite church in the spring of 1947. In the fall of 1947 he moved with his family to the vicinity of Newton, Kansas. On June 5, 1949, just three days before his death, he together with his wife and four children became members of the First Mennonite church at Newton, thus satisfying one of his last wishes in reference to a church home. One December15, 1915, he was married to Eva Koehn who share with him the joys and hopes and blessings of married life for more than 33 years. To this union ten children were born, two sons and eight daughters. One daughter, Frieda, preceded him in death on May 3, 1933, at the age of 14 years and seven months. The wife and mother remains to mourn with the children the death of the husband and father. The children are as follows: Bertha, Mrs. Sam Jantz, Tampa, Kansas; Detrick, at home, Margaret, Mrs. LaVern Miller, Durham, Kansas; Marie, Mrs. Paul Matz, Great Bend, Kansas; Malinda, Lillian, Eva Lena, Obera Ruth and Paul Lee, at home and also three grandchildren. Three brothers and three sisters remain to mourn the death of their brother. They are Henry Eck, Meno; Daniel Eck, Meno; Eben Eck, Ringwood, Okla.; Mary, Mrs. D. J. Unruh, Newton, Kans.; Lena, Mrs. Jacob Koehn, Meno, Okla.; and Eva, Mrs. John C. Unruh, Linwood, California. Five brothers and three sisters preceded him in death. Mr. Eck was devoted to his family and to the church. In1942 he was bedfast with rheumatic fever for about three or four months, from which he recovered sufficiently to resume his work on the farm. In the fall of 1947, together with his family, he moved from Oklahoma to a farm which he purchased seven miles east of Newton. The following spring, he beams ill with heart disease from which he never fully recovered. Brother Eck loved the Lord Jesus and loved to read his Bible. Many hours were spent reading and meditating on the Word of God. While he would have liked to remain with his wife and family, he was fully resigned to the will of god and ready to meet his Savior, Who called him to be with Him on the morning of June 8. A short service for the immediate family was held at the Moody's Funeral Chapel at 1:30 p.m. on June 11, 1949. Services were held at the First Mennonite church, Newton, at 2:00 p.m. with Rev. D. J. Unruh and Rev. C.B. Friesen officiating. A quartet composed of Herman Regier, Edward Regier, Willard Entz and Irvin Goertzen sang "Does Jesus Care" at the funeral chapel, two numbers at the church service, and "Safe in the Arms of Jesus" at the graveside.
