Surnames: Eiteman, Reckard
I am interested in information on Hattie (Harriett) J. Eiteman, who was born Jan. 1872 in Benton, County, IA to A.J. and Francis (Saunders) Eiteman. Her first husband was Michael O'Brien; later in the year he died (1894) she married Ira D. Reckard, in Fort Dodge, IA. Ira and Hattie's son Wildy C. (b 1898) was my grandfather. As far as I know, they lived in Webster County, IA until moving to Wharton County, TX about 1907.

I have been unable to determine when Hattie died or where she's buried, nor do I know much about her. Ira Reckard died in April 1915 and is buried in El Campo, Texas. I spoke with someone at the funeral home there which has his funeral records. They show Mrs. Ira Reckard signed at the time he died but it does not state if she was Hattie. The lady said there is no wife buried with Ira--only his son Kenneth who died in 1913.. My grandfather didn't share much about his family. He said his folks died when he was about 14 and 16.

Does anyone know what happened to Hattie or anything about her family?
