I spoke to a lady years and years ago about Anna Eckhoff Meyer, Detjen(Dayton) Jacobson. As you can see Anna married 2 more times after Thees died. She did tell me that Thees was a cobbler. He died when he was 40 years, 8 months and 24 days old. He died of typhoid fever. I haven't worked on the Eckhoff family for so long, it takes a while to sift through. They name Meyer / s is a very common name in this area.
