Edward J. Eckhoff, son of Mr. and Mrs. Herman Eckhoff, was born Dec. 6, 1885, at his country home near Buda, Ill. He spent his boyhood days on the farm and attended the country school. When twenty years of age he went to Saskatchewan, Canada, where he worked on a farm for one years. He then went to New Rockford, N.D., to attend the Phillips Academy. After graduating from this institution he again returned to Canada and worked on a farm for his oldest brother. It was here he met Miss Nellie Melvor, whom he married on Nov. 29, 1916. In the spring of 1918 they came to the vicinity of Curtiss, Clark County, Wis., where they made their home. Two children, Margaret and Kenneth, were born to bless this union.
