Looking for information On Hannah Eilers who married Frank Geckler in 1898. According to the 1900 census they may have a son named Allen together. Hannah had been married to a Henry F. Eilers who died in 1893. They had a son name George Corbett Eilers who later became a priest in Fond du Lac. They also raised Henry's younger brother Frederick Eilers the 2nd. Any info will be great. Have much to share.

I don't have any info on Hannah Eilers, but I know more about the Frank Geckler family. I'm a descendant of his brother Charles Geckler. They were both sons of Charles or Carl and Margaret Geckler. I would be willing to share what I have found about the Geckler family; perhaps you know more or different things about this family. I do have a copy of Hannah Eilers' obituary, but you probably have that too.

What I'm particularly curious about is that there is an Augusta Geckler (sometimes Lehr) who never married, who seems to have lived with Frankey Geckler. She was born about 1875 well past the date the Geckler father Carl passed away (Oct. 21, 1866). I'm wondering where she came from.
