This photo shows a very distinguished gentleman I would be proud to claim as an ancestor, but who is he? Many of the photos in this treasured album are identified as relatives of Ella Elizabeth Eckard Wood. I am assuming that this could be her father or possibly a brother. Ella was born in nearby Marion County Ohio and my records show that her father Christopher Eckert (Eckard) was buried in Bucyrus in 1886. Christopher was born in Lycoming Pennsylvania January 29,1827 but was in Crawford County Ohio by the time of his marriage on April 28, 1854. He is said to be buried in the Sherer Cemetery which is in Crawford County.Perhaps you recognize this photo because you have one just like it, or another photo showing the same man. If so, please comment and help me solve the mystery.
