Born Aug. 24, 1904, in Fond du Lac, Wis., she died Friday, Dec. 29, 2006, in Arlington Heights. Eleanor came to Naperville as a school teacher in the late 1920's, after receiving her teaching certificate from Stevens Point Teachers College in Wisconsin. She stopped teaching to raise her family. She earned her Bachelor's degree and returned to teaching elementary grades in the 78/203 School District in the 1940's.

Much time was spent tracing her genealogy. She did research in Salt Lake City, Utah, and Fort Wayne, Ind., as well as many libraries in Illinois. She was a member of the Dennison Society and contributed to their records.
She is survived by her son, Alvin (Jeanne); daughter, Sally (the late Art) Graf; daughter-in-law, Elaine Beidelman; five grandchildren; 11 great-grandchildren; and many nieces and nephews.
