Eleanor F. Baldwin, 74, a resident of Portland for several years, died Wednesday at her home, 135 Curry street. Miss Baldwin was born in Naugatuck, Conn., the youngest member of a family of 14. Her early life was spent in Provincetown, Cape Cod and Boston, Mass., where her father was a minister and an active abolitionist. Miss Baldwin acquired her father's love for freedom, and devoted a considerable of her life to writing for the advancement of "wage slaves." For several years she was a member of the staff of the Portland Telegram, and conducted a column on the editorial page called "A Woman's Point of View." She was author of the book "Money Talks" and of several short stories. Arthur Brisbane at one time wrote her asking her to come to New York to write for him, but she was fond of the northwest and chose to remain here. She was a member of the Women's Press club of Oregon. Funeral services were conducted at her home yesterday afternoon by Rev. Henry Victor Morgan, pastor of the First Divine Science church of Tacoma, formerly of Portland. Interment was in Riverview cemetery.
