CONSTANCE C. ECKERT

Aged 89, one of Tyrone's oldest residents, died at the home of his 
daughter, Mrs. John K. Sprankle, 606 West Fourteenth street, Tyrone, 
at 9.15 o'clock Sunday night.  He had recently undergone an amputation 
of the leg at the Altoona hospital and his condition was improved when 
he left the institution.  A relapse occurred and his condition 
gradually grew worse, ending in death.  He was born at Bellefonte on 
June 18, 1845, a son of Thomas T. and Martha (McIlvain) Eckert, and on 
May 21, 1864, was united in marriage with Miss Rosanna Britton, who 
died a number of years ago.  Surviving are one daughter and three 
sons, Harry T. Eckert of Ardara, Westmoreland county, Mrs. Sprankle 
and William C. Eckert of Tyrone and George Eckert of Danbury, Conn. 
Twenty grandchildren, twenty-five great-grandchildren and one great- 
great-grandchild also survive.  Mr. Eckert was a member of the First 
United Brethren church, the Men's Bible class of the Sunday school and 
was one of the oldest members of Centre lodge, No. 153, I.O.O.F. 
Funeral services will be held at the Sprankle home at 2 o'clock 
tomorrow afternoon.  Interment will be made in Stover's cemetery, near 
Unionville, Centre county.
