In the 23 September 1905 issue of a magazine unfortunately named "the Wasp" appeared the column "Who's Who?" by Grace Van Tassel titled, "Have We A Four Hundred in California?". This article2 contains the following text: "Mr. and Mrs. William R. Eckart are well-known society folk. Their daughter, Eleanor, a dainty, winsome little maid, was one of the smart set's most popular members. She married not long ago, and is now Mrs. Hume. Her husband and baby absorb her, and the gay whirl knows her but little."
*Great-grandmother of the Cactus.
