Narrative

Note: Katherine (Eckert) Utterback

In the text Christian Metzger: Founder of an American Family 1682-1942 (p178), Katherine is listed under the descendancy for her mother Elizabeth (Huffman) Eckert as only "Kate, who m. an Utterback" with no other information given. The end of the passage states all of Elizabeth's children had children.

In the records I have found so far, Kate was listed in her parents' household as they moved from Illinois to Kansas and then to Nebraska, where the last record that placed her with her parents appears to be the 1885 Nebraska State Census. Fifteen years later, in the 1900 US Census, she appeared in Springfield, Sangamon, Illinois with her husband Thomas Hinman Utterback, with no children listed for the household. The two of them were counted there again in the next two federal censuses, still without any children or other relatives. Thomas died in 1924 and was buried in Springfield, and shortly after, Kate was counted as a widow in the 1925 Iowa State Census in Mills Cty, Iowa, living with her younger brother Ellsworth.

By the time of the 1930 US Census, Kate had moved to California, where she was counted living with her older sister Mary (Eckert) Campbell and Mary's husband John, and by the time of the 1940 US Census, Kate had moved to Idaho Falls, Bonneville Cty, Idaho, to live with her younger sister Lillian (Eckert) Hops and Lillian's husband Henry. This is the last confirmed record I have found for Kate - I have not yet found a death record or a burial listing anywhere.

I have not found any indication that Kate and Thomas had any children, though it is possible that they married and had a child (or children) who did not survive the fifteen years between 1885 and 1900. The string of cross-country relocations in which Kate engaged after her husband's death, residing with at least three of her siblings over teh years, suggests strongly that Kate had no surviving children after Thomas' death in 1924.
