The Hawaiian Line of the Eckart Family

Maximilian with his eldest son Hans (DaM VIII 3) in his coffee plantation.

During this time, Maria ran the household and took care of the children. The first child born after their wedding was Lilia in 1879, followed by Kauwila in 1880 and then, at two-yearly intervals, Hans (1882 to 1942), Meta (1884 to 1957), Minette (1886 to 1908), Christina (1888 to 1975), Max (1890 to 1921), Marie (1892 to 1988), Fritz (1894 to 1945), May (1896 to 1992), William (1898 to 1965) and, last but not least, Yette (1902 to 1999). His children describe Maximilian as a likeable, but very strict father. In fact, idleness and leisure time were only possible when he was not around.
