General Thomas Eckert

[Rsmyth]

Hello Tommy, approximately 5 years ago you gave a tour of the catacombs to my wife and I. I was primarily interested in Eckert's final resting place. I do not have too much info on him. He was married to the former Emma D. Whitney of Wooster, Ohio and they had two sons - Clendenin and Thomas T. Emma died in 1868 and ten years later (1878) Thomas married Joanna C. Seitzinger who died circa 1899 and was buried in St. Patrick's Old Cathedral. They were living at 549 5th Ave. in New York at the time. He also had a summer home on Ocean Ave. in Long Branch, NJ which was still standing 5 years ago when I visited.
