Ionia Sentinel Standard, 3 Jan 1939

Word of the death of Charles F. Eckmeter, formerly of Ionia, has been received 
by friends in Ionia.  His death took place at the Marine hospital in Detroit on 
December 20, and he was buried at Woodmere cemetery, December 23.

Mr. Eckmeter enlisted in August 1899, in the U.S. army, Company E. and served 
in the Philippine Islands.  Shortly after he was mustered out of  service at 
San Francisco, he re-enlisted and served for 15 years before his retirement, 
becoming a sergeant in the U.S. cavalry.  He was a brother of the late Clinton 
Eckmeter of Ionia, and was employed as a cigar maker in the Barrett and Scully 
cigar factory at the time he left Ionia for Detroit, where he later enlisted.
