Biography
Eleanor was born in 1916. She worked many years in a grocery store and at a book binding company (Richard B. Cross Co.) in the small town of Oxford, Indiana. She took pride in watching her first husband Eck judge horses at the county fair. She tended a very nice garden at their home. She has always been very likable and out-going. Her faculties were extremely good for her age up to her last days and she will be missed by many.
An interesting tidbit is she tested positive for the Covid at age 104 y/o about 5 times; but, never showed any symptoms.
