GEORGE M. ECKERT, of Arlington, was born in the Eighth Ward of New York City on the 8th of October, 1869. He is the son of David R. Eckert and Dellyetta McKellop and a grandson of Martin Eckert. The Eckerts came originally from Holland and first settled on Manhattan Island, whence they removed to the vicinity of Kingston, where Martin Eckert still lives, his home being at Ulster Park. He has always followed agricultural pursuits. The family have been prominent and influential in both public and business affairs, and from the first have taken an active part in all worthy objects.

Mr. Eckert was educated in the public schools of New York City and at the New York College.

In public affairs he has held for several years a prominent place, taking an active part in town affairs, and filling every position with acknowledged ability. He was elected a member of the Board of Aldermen in the spring of 1899, and is a member and Assistant Foreman of Hook and Ladder Company No. 1, of the Kearny Volunteer Fire Department. He is a member of the Episcopal Church. He married Mary L. Crissy and has one daughter, Alice Eckert.
