About the author

Eleanor McCutcheon Collier Talmage was an American writer remembered for her part in T. De Witt Talmage as I Knew Him. The book was published in 1912 and credits both T. De Witt Talmage and Eleanor McCutcheon Collier Talmage, with concluding chapters by Mrs. T. De Witt Talmage.

From the book itself, it is clear that she wrote with a close family purpose in mind, helping preserve memories for her children and later readers. Her sections add a personal perspective to the life of the well-known minister, shaping the work into something more intimate than a formal biography.

Reliable biographical details about her life beyond that authorship were limited in the sources I could confirm here, so this overview stays close to what is clearly supported. Even so, her role in preserving the Talmage family's story gives her a distinct place in American religious and biographical writing of the early twentieth century.
