The NY Times obit stated that her name was Catherine P., widow of William Echterbecker. I can send you a copy of the obit. However after I found some 1870s marriage information..... I think William and Catherine are not Hugo's parents. These were married in NY in the 1870s ...... Hugo did not arrive until 1903 The name was so unusual..... they may be related and I thought I should pass it on: Echterbecker, William Spouse : Unknown Date/Year of Marriage : 1870 Location : Manhattan * Certificate Number : 3975 Echterbecker, William Spouse : Unknown Date/Year of Marriage : 1876 Location : Manhattan * Certificate Number : 4291 I found the information above at this site: http://www.bklyn-genealogy-info.com/Marriage/AZ/E/E.2.html *************************************************************** I had tried to find Hugo with his family in NY in 1910 and 1920. No luck.
