To the people of Wickenburg – Harold Eckhart was buried Tuesday from St. Anthony's Church. He received his "passport to heaven" by his good deeds. He was satisfied to live unseen, unknown, but unlamented – he did not die.
He was a "giant" among men, intellectually, morally, and as a citizen of Wickenburg, his adapted retirement home.
Without Harold Eckhart, we would not have our Community Hospital.
He was Hospital Board President, financier, architect, guiding light, and solver of knotty problems and government red tape during the 7 years that our hospital was having "labor and financial" pains.
Still with us, Dr. F. Bralliar, Sky Thurber, Pegggy Bratton, Ewald Stein, Dan Snyder and myself, mourn Harold's passing and we want others to know the great services Harold rendered Wickenburg. A monument to his memory is our hospital. (Mary Jones)
