    Notes:

    BIOGRAPHY: As a child Hugo assisted his family with their crops, picking cotton, etc. The family could pick a bale of cotton every other day, a total of approximately 1500 pounds. He and his father did some carpenter work togehter, and Hugo thought of himself as a "jack of all Trades" because he learned to do so many things as a child which he continued to do as an adult. Hugo and his wife Bernice made their home in the Schoenau area in Texas. Hugo Eckermann tells this story, "I was confirmed in 1912 in the Industry Methodist Church by the Reverend Jacob Ott, attended school in Schoenau where my teachers were Mamie Banks and John Ahlhorn. I was born on the farm now owned by Lanard Luetge, but moved farther down toward the Mill Creek with my family later. During July and August we cooked molasses for people in the community. They would bring sorghum, sugar cane, or ribbon cane to have syrup made. Usually they paid for the job by giving part of the finished product, which we then sold to those who came to buy." Mr. Eckermann remembers getting about 45 or 50 cents per gallon for the syrup, and he recalls cooking for as little as five and one-half cents per gallon.
    "As a carpenter I received 15 cents per hour for the first house I assisted in building. That was in 1917 when hand saws, hammer, etc. were all handled and worked manually, with all lumber being put into place piece by piece and held until nailed. The first house I contracted to do with the assistance of members of the family was the Kautz house after their home burned in 1925. This house now stands in Industry where it was moved when Ella Kautz came to Industry to live. For this house I received 35 cents an hour. Thirty years later I built my last house which is the one on Highway 159 in which Robert and Hattie Lindemann lived." The house was later owned by Dennis Geistmann.
