General Thomas Eckert
Greetings everyone I just joined the forum.
I’m the Tour Director for the Basilica of St. Patrick’s Old Cathedral in Manhattan and I wanted to start a thread on General Thomas Eckert. I hope I am posted this in the correct section or maybe the Moderators could create a new topic on the General. The reason for this is that I run daily public tours of the CATACOMBS below the Old Cathedral and one of the vaults on the tour is that of General Eckert. What’s unique about his vault is that you can actually go inside of it. He spent $83,000 on the vault in 1904 built of Guastavino tile to accommodate 12 members of his family. There are only 4 people laid to rest there though: Thomas Thompson Eckert Sr. Joanna Rice Eckert (2nd wife?) Eliza Rice - Joanna’s mother Christopher Rice - her father. I can’t find any books on him, I know nothing of his first wife and marriage. Would love to know more about his personal life. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thank you Tommy |
