I need more obituaries to connect these various Eckholdts.
Fortunately Ellen Hoffman wrote me some memories and one was of the Eckhold family.
She listed Gordon, Ruby, Merlyn, Eunice, and Kay as children of Mainert {Maynard?} & Lillie (Hinze) Eckholdt.
Gordon's children are Darlene, Delores, and Beth.
I don't know where Grant fits in...
