Growing up, she and her siblings went to nearby Montrose School, moving on to Richard Montgomery High School. From there, she chose to become a secretary, and attended Temple Secretarial school in Washington, D.C., graduating in 1941.
Eleanor has been writing articles and short stories for much of her life. While in mid-life, she wrote the story of her friend, Anne Wetzell’s, miraculous healing, titled, “He Touched Her.” She submitted her manuscript to a Christian Writers contest by Warner Press, Anderson, Indiana, where it won second prize and was subsequently published.
In the 1970’s, the Montrose School was scheduled to be demolished by the State Highway Administration. Director, Eileen McGuckian, of Peerless Rockville, rescued it. She asked Eleanor to write a history of the school she had attended as a child. Her book, “Montrose School, The First Ninety Years,” was published by Peerless in 1990.
In the late 1990’s, Eleanor discovered letters her father had written to her mother. Her mother had traveled from Maine to Kentucky to teach black children who had no public schools. Thinking this was a “story that must be told”, Eleanor set about writing her third book, “Miss Apple, the Story of a Maine Teacher in Kentucky,” published in 2002 by AuthorHouse.
Eleanor’s gift for writing poems convinced her friend Eileen that they should be published, and another friend, Peggy Bjarno, agreed to compile her fourth book in 2003, “Portraits in Poetry.” In her book, “All the Days of My Life,” Eleanor tells how she became a Christian at ten years of age, and how that influenced the many important decisions of her life to come.visualizza meno
