Eckard /Echard + Keough families in Iowa

Surnames: Eckard/Echard , Keough
I'm trying to solve a puzzle regarding the relationship between these families. The 1895 census for Webster Co,. Iowa shows a James Echard (born approx. 1881) in the household of Peter Keough. In the 1900 census, James (Eckard) is listed as a nephew in the same household. I also found a marriage record dated 02 Jan 1881 for Katie Eckard (born approx. 1859)(spouse Emanuel Eckard) listing Peter Keough as the father of Katie. I'm guessing that Emanuel and Katie could have been the parents of James based on the dates, but have no clue about the connection to the Keough family. Any help would be great!!
