314	Celebrate Wedding Anniversary On Nov. 12, 1936, Mr. and Mrs. Eckart celebrated the 60th anniversary of their wedding. It was the same year, January 22, just 60 years before, that Mr. Eckart came to this section. He came to The Journal office that day with the story of his experiences, which was published in the Journal. It is such a vivid picture of the life of this pioneer and of the early days of Antigo that we are going to republish the story at this time, It follows: On January 22, 1876 Mr. Deleglise and myself came to the wild woods, what the Indians called Antigo, but Mr. Deleglise called it Spring Brook. Later when it became a village, Mr. Deleglise gave it the name Antigo. That is 60 years ago today. When we came to Wausau we hired a rig to take us to Ackley, but he had a hard time to get us to Hogarty. So the next day, Mr. Hogarty hitched a pair of Indian ponies to what was called a jumper. It was only winter road that Ackley had, being over logs and windfalls. We came to Ackley in the evening. The next day we moved into an empty shanty Ackley had. Then we started to survey and surveyed until spring. By that time John Doersch had a shanty fixed, so we cut a road and moved in. Then I started to clear my place and built a shanty. Deleglise went home to Appleton. I cleared about three-fourths of an acre and built a shanty 12x14. After planting some potatoes and bagas I started for Wausau. Ten miles this side of Wausau I stopped at a farmer by the name of Noles and got a job for $15.00 a month. I worked through the summer. In the fall I dug my potatoes and bagas. They were fine and big. I dug a hole and stored them, covering them with leaves and they kept fine. Then I started for the old home in Gibson, Manitowoc. I was married in November, 1876. We planned moving here but the weather was so poor we had to stay until the second of January. We had a yoke of oxen and one cow. It took us 14 days and parts of nights. That was our honeymoon trip. We had a covered wagon and I had an old country yoke for each ox separate and farmers had never seen it before. They thought we were gypsies, so the farmers very seldom let us stay over night. Most of the time we had to go on till we came to a stopping place. We got there after midnight. It was the second of February and there was only about 2 inches of snow. It was a good thing that John Doersch and I cut a new road from here to Hogarty, 12 miles, otherwise I couldn't have moved here when I did. When I moved here I had to build a little barn, so I could put in my oxen and cow. After I had that done I had to go to Wausau to get some stuff. I stopped at Noles farm and I promised him I would come to skid logs in his camp. So I had to leave my sweetheart here. We didn't have very much feed so she had to cut down trees for the cow to browse. That way we wintered our cow. I came to see my sweetheart most every Saturday after supper. That was a 23 mile trip to see how she was getting along. I stayed until Sunday afternoon, then went back to be on the job Monday. There was only one settler on the whole road. That was Mr. Hogarty. What would the young fellows nowadays do. They would have to use an automobile. In the spring of 1877 I got a letter from Deleglise to build a shanty for him. So I built the shanty for him that now stands on the Library lawn. I cleared a place where I built the shanty. Then I cleared one acre where the Home Theatre stands. In those days it was harder times than now. Nowadays if a young couple gets married they would have to be furnished with all furniture. When we started here we didn't have any furniture. In place of a table we had a wash tub tipped over. For bed we had two poles bored into shanty logs. and poles across. For chairs we had blocks sawed from logs. That time we could not depend on relief like they do now. We had to depend on ourselves and get along as best we could. The first spring we were here, we got out of provisions. So John Doersch and I started to Wausau. We bought a sack of flour and some groceries and some tools that we needed. I carried that sack of flour and it was a warm day. By shaking that sack of flour on my back, I had a quarter of an inch of dough on my coat. I told Mrs. Doersch to scrape it off and bake pancakes right away. In 1879, 16 of us, I think it was, was, started for Langlade to decide where the county seat would be. We waited until nearly closing time, then we rushed in and beat them by two votes. We had blankets and some food and stayed overnight by a creek. The next morning we started for home all happy. So it is our time to quit until some other time.

349	Couple Find Hard Work Key to Long Married Life Mr. and Mrs. John Eckart, who were married in New Richland, Oct. 27, 1890, observed their 63rd wedding anniversary quietly Tuesday. Mrs. Eckart, an energetic 81 years old, passed up a bus ride that afternon to walk from downtown Albert Lea to their home at 911 Bridge Ave., after a shopping trip. She often walks home from services at Salem Lutheran church, she said. Visitors who came to help them observe the anniversary kept the couple up late Tuesday night, Mrs. Eckart was up early the next morning though, cleaning house, and making plans for a trip to Wisconsin. She anticipated the trip to Antigo, Wis., with her daughter Friday, would require about 7 hours driving. "It took me two weeks to make that trip by wagon when I came to Minnesota," her husband recalled. Eckart, who is 89, did not accompany his wife in the town which was once his home. Because his legs bother him, he can not be as active as Mrs. Eckart, he explained. Both agree they've worked hard during their lives. The couple met in the 80's when both were working at the Chris Jenson farm between New Richland and Hartland. jensonn had persuaded Eckart, who had struck out on his own in the logging regiem of Wisconsin at the age of 16, to come with him after relatives wrote Jenson that land in the area was cheap. Jenson acquired a farm, and Eckart went to work for him. He met his futher wife on that same farm. Ida Bertha Moldenhauer, pretty, curly-haired daughter of a neighboring farmer, was hired to do housework in the Jenson home for $1.50 a week. "And I did the washing by hand, with only a washboard," she recalls now. Jenson lost both his hired man and hired girl when the couple were married. They started out their married life on a rented farm in the area. Included in the deal was the use of eight cows for $10 a year, Eckart recalls. After a couple of years, the owner told Eckart that he had $200 in the farm himself (it was owned by two mortgages) and suggested that he buy it. Eckart bought the farm, and in a few years was able to build a house to replace the shack the couple had lived in and a new barn. Discouraged, at one time about 45 years ago, by a hailstorm that ruined crops, the Eckarts moved to South Dakota, found they didn't like it there, and returned to farm four miles outside Albert Lea. About 17 years ago they moved to their present home. The cople have six children, 15 grandchildren, and five great grandchildren. One son, Elmer, died in 1936. A daughter, Mrs. Albert (Agnes) Dubberstein, lives in Armstrong and another daughter, Mrs. Edward (Alice) Dahlman, lives in New Richland. Their sons are Emil, of Austin, Walter of Bancroft, Erwin at home, and George, who lives on the home farm. Mrs. Eckart complains that arthritis in her hands prevents her from doing as much work as she would like to do, but she still does her own housework, gets up at 5 0'clock on summer mornings to work in her large garden and does lots of canning. At one time, when her children were small, physicians in a Rochester hospital, did not expect her to recover from an operation. Four years ago, she was in critical condition following a stroke. "I believe god sets a time for everyone to go, and my time has not come." she said. "But if there's anything that keeps me alive, I'd say it's just work." Her husband nodded in agreement.

"And I did the washing by hand, with only a washboard," she recalls now. Jenson lost both his hired man and hired girl when the couple were married. They started out their married life on a rented farm in the area. Included in the deal was the use of eight cows for $10 a year, Eckart recalls. After a couple of years, the owner told Eckart that he had $200 in the farm himself (it was owned by two mortgages) and suggested that he buy it. Eckart bought the farm, and in a few years was able to build a house to replace the shack the couple had lived in and a new barn. Discouraged, at one time about 45 years ago, by a hailstorm that ruined crops, the Eckarts moved to South Dakota, found they didn't like it there, and returned to farm four miles outside Albert Lea. About 17 years ago they moved to their present home. The cople have six children, 15 grandchildren, and five great grandchildren. One son, Elmer, died in 1936. A daughter, Mrs. Albert (Agnes) Dubberstein, lives in Armstrong and another daughter, Mrs. Edward (Alice) Dahlman, lives in New Richland. Their sons are Emil, of Austin, Walter of Bancroft, Erwin at home, and George, who lives on the home farm. Mrs. Eckart complains that arthritis in her hands prevents her from doing as much work as she would like to do, but she still does her own housework, gets up at 5 0'clock on summer mornings to work in her large garden and does lots of canning. At one time, when her children were small, physicians in a Rochester hospital, did not expect her to recover from an operation. Four years ago, she was in critical condition following a stroke. "I believe god sets a time for everyone to go, and my time has not come." she said. "But if there's anything that keeps me alive, I'd say it's just work." Her husband nodded in agreement.

Celebrate Wedding Anniversary

On Nov. 12, 1936, Mr. and Mrs. Eckart celebrated the 60th anniversary of their wedding. It was the same year, January 22, just 60 years before, that Mr. Eckart came to this section. He came to The Journal office that day with the story of his experiences, which was published in the Journal. It is such a vivid picture of the life of this pioneer and of the early days of Antigo that we are going to republish the story at this time, It follows:

On January 22, 1876 Mr. Deleglise and myself came to the wild woods, what the Indians called Antigo, but Mr. Deleglise called it Spring Brook. Later when it became a village, Mr. Deleglise gave it the name Antigo. That is 60 years ago today.

When we came to Wausau we hired a rig to take us to Ackley, but he had a hard time to get us to Hogarty. So the next day, Mr. Hogarty hitched a pair of Indian ponies to what was called a jumper. It was only winter road that Ackley had, being over logs and windfalls. We came to Ackley in the evening. The next day we moved into an empty shanty Ackley had. Then we started to survey and surveyed until spring. By that time John Doersch had a shanty fixed, so we cut a road and moved in. Then I started to clear my place and built a shanty. Deleglise went home to Appleton. I cleared about three-fourths of an acre and built a shanty 12x14.

After planting some potatoes and bagas I started for Wausau. Ten miles this side of Wausau I stopped at a farmer by the name of Noles and got a job for $15.00 a month. I worked through the summer. In the fall I dug my potatoes and bagas. They were fine and big. I dug a hole and stored them, covering them with leaves and they kept fine. Then I started for the old home in Gibson, Manitowoc. I was married in November, 1876. We planned moving here but the weather was so poor we had to stay until the second of January. We had a yoke of oxen and one cow. It took us 14 days and parts of nights. That was our honeymoon trip. We had a covered wagon and I had an old country yoke for each ox separate and farmers had never seen it before. They thought we were gypsies, so the farmers very seldom let us stay over night. Most of the time we had to go on till we came to a stopping place. We got there after midnight. It was the second of February and there was only about 2 inches of snow.

It was a good thing that John Doersch and I cut a new road from here to Hogarty, 12 miles, otherwise I couldn't have moved here when I did. When I moved here I had to build a little barn, so I could put in my oxen and cow. After I had that done I had to go to Wausau to get some stuff. I stopped at Noles farm and I promised him I would come to skid logs in his camp. So I had to leave my sweetheart here. We didn't have very much feed so she had to cut down trees for the cow to browse. That way we wintered our cow. I came to see my sweetheart most every Saturday after supper. That was a 23 mile trip to see how she was getting along. I stayed until Sunday afternoon, then went back to be on the job Monday. There was only one settler on the whole road. That was Mr. Hogarty. What would the young fellows nowadays do. They would have to use an automobile. In the spring of 1877 I got a letter from Deleglise to build a shanty for him. So I built the shanty for him that now stands on the Library lawn. I cleared a place where I built the shanty. Then I cleared one acre where the Home Theatre stands.

In those days it was harder times than now. Nowadays if a young couple gets married they would have to be furnished with all furniture. When we started here we didn't have any furniture. In place of a table we had a wash tub tipped over. For bed we had two poles bored into shanty logs. and poles across. For chairs we had blocks sawed from logs. That time we could not depend on relief like they do now. We had to depend on ourselves and get along as best we could. The first spring we were here, we got out of provisions. So John Doersch and I started to Wausau. We bought a sack of flour and some groceries and some tools that we needed. I carried that sack of flour and it was a warm day. By shaking that sack of flour on my back, I had a quarter of an inch of dough on my coat. I told Mrs. Doersch to scrape it off and bake pancakes right away.

In 1879, 16 of us, I think it was, was, started for Langlade to decide where the county seat would be. We waited until nearly closing time, then we rushed in and beat them by two votes. We had blankets and some food and stayed overnight by a creek. The next morning we started for home all happy. So it is our time to quit until some other time.

John and Marie are buried on the east side of the cemetery, near the fence at the bottom of the hill. The Mishicot Cemetery and the Holy Cross cemetery appear to be one in the same cemetery. There is a dividing line but I do not know where it is. I believe they are buried in the Catholic portion based on other deaths nearby.

Couple Find Hard Work Key to Long Married Life

Mr. and Mrs. John Eckart, who were married in New Richland, Oct. 27, 1890, observed their 63rd wedding anniversary quietly Tuesday.

Mrs. Eckart, an energetic 81 years old, passed up a bus ride that afternon to walk from downtown Albert Lea to their home at 911 Bridge Ave., after a shopping trip.

She often walks home from services at Salem Lutheran church, she said.

Visitors who came to help them observe the anniversary kept the couple up late Tuesday night, Mrs. Eckart was up early the next morning though, cleaning house, and making plans for a trip to Wisconsin.

She anticipated the trip to Antigo, Wis., with her daughter Friday, would require about 7 hours driving.

"It took me two weeks to make that trip by wagon when I came to Minnesota," her husband recalled.

Eckart, who is 89, did not accompany his wife in the town which was once his home. Because his legs bother him, he can not be as active as Mrs. Eckart, he explained.

Both agree they've worked hard during their lives.

The couple met in the 80's when both were working at the Chris Jenson farm between New Richland and Hartland. jensonn had persuaded Eckart, who had struck out on his own in the logging regiem of Wisconsin at the age of 16, to come with him after relatives wrote Jenson that land in the area was cheap.

Jenson acquired a farm, and Eckart went to work for him. He met his futher wife on that same farm. Ida Bertha Moldenhauer, pretty, curly-haired daughter of a neighboring farmer, was hired to do housework in the Jenson home for $1.50 a week.

"And I did the washing by hand, with only a washboard," she recalls now.

Jenson lost both his hired man and hired girl when the couple were married.

They started out their married life on a rented farm in the area. Included in the deal was the use of eight cows for $10 a year, Eckart recalls.

After a couple of years, the owner told Eckart that he had $200 in the farm himself (it was owned by two mortgages) and suggested that he buy it.

Eckart bought the farm, and in a few years was able to build a house to replace the shack the couple had lived in and a new barn.

Discouraged, at one time about 45 years ago, by a hailstorm that ruined crops, the Eckarts moved to South Dakota, found they didn't like it there, and returned to farm four miles outside Albert Lea.

About 17 years ago they moved to their present home.

The cople have six children, 15 grandchildren, and five great grandchildren. One son, Elmer, died in 1936.

A daughter, Mrs. Albert (Agnes) Dubberstein, lives in Armstrong and another daughter, Mrs. Edward (Alice) Dahlman, lives in New Richland. Their sons are Emil, of Austin, Walter of Bancroft, Erwin at home, and George, who lives on the home farm.

Mrs. Eckart complains that arthritis in her hands prevents her from doing as much work as she would like to do, but she still does her own housework, gets up at 5 0'clock on summer mornings to work in her large garden and does lots of canning.

At one time, when her children were small, physicians in a Rochester hospital, did not expect her to recover from an operation. Four years ago, she was in critical condition following a stroke.

"I believe god sets a time for everyone to go, and my time has not come." she said. "But if there's anything that keeps me alive, I'd say it's just work."

Her husband nodded in agreement.
