   John O. Eckert. For more than twenty years John O. Eckert has been a
progressive, and, for much of that period, a prominent factor in the
professional and political activities of Cincinnati. His standing as a citizen
is firm and broad, and, as a leader of the Republican party, his reputation has
extended into state influence, while in the profession of law he has attained a
position among the leaders in general practice. Mr. Eckert was born in Scioto
county, Ohio, November 27, 1874, and, when a small boy, was brought to
Cincinnati, where he attended the public schools. Later he took advantage of the
opportunities offered for preferment by attendance at the law school of the
Young Men's Christian Association, from which he was graduated in 1899 with the
degree of Bachelor of Laws and immediately began practice. He has continued
alone in the practice of his calling, and, at this time, has offices in the
Second National Bank Building. In spite of the constantly increasing
responsibilities of a large and growing practice, Mr. Eckert has found the time
and inclination to enter actively into politics, a field in which he has won
distinction and success. During the past six years he has been a member of the
City Council, representing the Twenty-fourth Ward, which includes his resident
community of Westwood. His work in that body has been constructive in its
character, and he has been found supporting earnestly all measures which have
promised to redound to the benefit of his city and its people. Since the days of
his youth, Mr. Eckert has been interested in the work of the Young Men's
Christian Association, of which he is still a member, and this interest has
taken practical form on more than one occasion. He likewise is an active member
of the Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce, is a York Rite Mason and a Shriner, and
belongs to the Ohio Bar Association, the Hamilton County Bar Association and the
American Bar Association. He was married in 1903 to Luella Klayer, daughter of
Dr. Charles F. Klayer, and to them was born one son, David C. Eckert.
