(Carlson) Brage was born on June 25, 1916 in Douglas Township, Dakota County. Eleanore was a graduate of Cannon Falls High School, class of 1934 and the Teachers' Training Department, class of 1935. She taught in rural schools in Goodhue County for several years. In 1947, Eleanore and her parents moved to Cannon Falls and became employed at Scofield Drug Store until she and Melvin Miller, a farmer in the Vasa area, were married on June 12, 1955. Melvin passed away on December 24, 1964. Eleanore moved back to Cannon Falls in 1968, but had begun working at Kid Duds Manufacturing in 1965 and continued until retiring in 1981.
