Obituary published in The Gospel Visitor, January, 1858, page 31
Died in Jacksonville, Upper Cumberland district of the church, Cumberland co., Pa., on the 10th November 1857, Elder DAVID ECKER, M.D. in the 69th year of his age. Funeral sermons by brethren Daniel Hollinger from the 90th Psalm. Thus our esteemed brother, very extensively known as an elder laborer in the Lord’s vineyard; and also a physician, has made the exchange and gone as we hope, from the church militant, to the church triumphant.
The following verses were found in his book after his death.
“Oft times my days are hard ‘tis known,
My nights are dreary too,
When storms of various winds are blown,
I still must on pursue.
I stand in jeopardy ‘tis true,
I count not man, my arm;
I trust in none but God alone;
I stand yet unalarm’d.”
“Now when my soul and body go,
I seek to be unseen, unknown;
Steal from this world, and not a stone
Tell where I lie, or where my tomb.”
