The La Grange Journal, Thursday, December 13, 1923
Saturday evening shortly after the curtains of night had been drawn the Grim Reaper invaded the home of A. W. F. Meyer and peaceful rest came to Mrs. Augusta Eck, wife of Dr. A. H. Eck, after an enfeebled illness that had lasted for several weeks. Monday afternoon they carried all that was mortal of her to the Cedar cemetery where, with relatives and friends assisting in the last rites, the last rest was granted. Rev. J. H. Wiseman, pastor of the Methodist church, spoke sympathetically and very religiously at home and at the open grave, bidding the Great Judge above to pass his merciful judgement upon one who had borne her cross through life, with that spirit of fortitude that betokens a good, pure hearts.
Mrs. Eck was born in Goslar, Hanover, Germany, January 4, 1843, and when a mere child came to America with her parents, brothers and sisters. The family located in the Bluff section of the county where the subject of this sketch lived the remainder of her natural life, excepting a few months since, when she accepted the proffered hospitality of the home of her son-in-law, A. W. F. Meyer. To Mr. and Mrs. Eck, who were untied in marriage shortly before the civil war, there was born eight children, four of whom preceded her to the Great Beyond. The living children, grown and the parents of children, are Louis Eck, of near La Grange; Mrs. Louise, wife of A. W. F. Meyer; Hermann Eck of Schulenburg and Edwin J. Eck of La Grange. These have the sympathy of the entire community.
Death is ever the messenger of sorrow. In this instance the heavy hand is more keenly felt. Her aged husband, to whom the light of day has been shut out for some time, is left to mourn his companion of over fifty years; blind he maintains the strong hope that his name will soon be called; a daughter Mrs. Louise Meyer, is in the La Grange Hospital , recuperating from the effects of a surgical operation. If, in the firm belief that those whom He loves He chastetheth, this burden is given, may he comfort those whose heads are now bowed, and give to them the assurance that the departure of the little mother is only a will expressed, so that she may meet those who have gone before, and arrange for the coming of those behind.
