Biography

~1863-1865: Born (2) (3) (8) Used birth date listed on Death Certificate since that seems the best source found to date (8).

25 Dec 1880: Married Joseph Ecker (1) (2) (3). The death notice of Wm Kline gives her husband's name as Henry Ecker (4) but that seems like an error confusing their first names. Ecker has been spelled many ways (2). They had 7 children (2).

1921: At the time of her mother's death, five of her mother's children were still alive: William Jr., Mrs. Agnes Kittenbeil, Mrs. Maria Hatch, Mrs. James Hughes of California, and Mrs. James Newell (5). Mrs. James Newell was Isabelle (6). (Mary and Lydia had passed away before 1921.) Therefore, assuming Henrietta was still alive and there was no other sister, she must have been Mrs. James Hughes.

7 April 1930: She may have been still living in California at 840 North Hunter Street, Stockton, (7)

1 May 1930: Died in at home in Stockton, California at 1212 N. El Dorado (8). This means that either she moved from Hunter Street, or the person living at the Hunter Street address in April was not her. She and Joseph are buried in California. (2)
