Eckel, Fred W., Herkimer, was born in Syracuse.  After receiving a good common 
school education, he learned the machinist trade, at which he afterwards 
worked for thirteen years, traveling during this time extensively.  Among the 
many States that he visited we may mention Texas, Kansas, Colorado, 
California, Washington, Oregon, Louisiana, etc.  He followed mining for some 
time in California.  Mr. Eckel took charge of the Mansion House, Herkimer, 
about two years ago.  This hotel can accomodate about fifty guests, although 
as many as 160 have been provided for on especial occasions.  Mr. Eckel's 
uncle, Philip Eckel, was chief of the Fire Department of Syracuse for twenty-
five years, and was killed on duty.  The family has served in the War of the 
Rebellion, and has been identified with  the best interests of the locality.
