Maximilian Eckart and Maria Louisa had a large family. This picture shows them with eleven of their twelve children and their son-in-law Hugo Landgraf (around 1900).

Christian Eckart (1831 to 1875), the fifth child of David and Jeanette Eckart, had already left Emskirchen in 1855. He chose a completely different and far more distant destination: Honolulu in Hawaii. This is where he opened a jewelry store in 1867.
