Description
  • Eleanor Trindle was a home demonstration agent in Marion County and Assistant State Leader of Home Economics Extension from 1945 to 1956. She was born in 1915 in Salem, Oregon. She attended Willamette University and OSC, gaining her Bachelor of Science in Home Economics from the latter in 1937. Before coming to OSC, she was a high school home economics teacher for roughly six years. She also spent a year as an Army Hostess with the US Army, where she worked in a headquarters service club cafeteria. Right before applying to OSC, she spent a year as a caseworker in Marion County so she could live at home with her parents. She was hired at $4400 per year as Emergency Assistant in Marion County. In 1950, she was transferred to become a State Extension Agent. She took the rank of assistant professor in 1946, and of associate professor in 1949. In 1950, she was transferred to become a State Extension Agent. She took a sabbatical from September 1954 to July of 1955, to study for her master’s degree, for which she took half salary. During this period, she earned a Master of Arts from Columbia University Teachers’ College with a major in Federal Cooperative Extension. While there, she was invited to Pi Lamba Theta, a honor society for women in education, and lived in an international house. She visited a number of nearby cities and universities, and traveled through Europe and North Africa. In 1956, she passed away from leukemia, after having been on staff for eleven years.
