Margot Arvilla Lund was born September 23, 1910 in Salt Lake City, Uta h t o Aagot Marie Randby and Djalmar Emanuel Hansen Lund. She was the thi rd o f seven children. Her Childhood years were spent in the family hom e on We st Capitol Street. She wore dutch-cut hair and “hand-me-downs . ” She wa s a shy Child and always honest and ladylike. Her sister Temmi e said of h er: “Mother always called Margot her ‘little star.’ When cho res had to b e done, Margot in her quiet way would do them, without a wor d of complain t. Margot is a very kind, thoughtful person, especially t o her mother an d dad. Margot couldn’t tell a lie, if her life depended o n it.”
Margot relates, “We had a nice home on West Capitol Street with no bathr o om so we had to bathe in a large tub and heat the water on a coal stov e a nd use an outhouse. Dad couldn’t afford an inside bathroom at that ti me . Later, Dad had a bathroom built in.”
“When Abe (Aubrey) was born, I had to help take care of him like takin g h im for a buggy ride when Mother would have company. At that time, sh e b e longed to a club, so one day when she went to her club meeting, I a ske d her if she was going to get clubbed. I didn’t know any better at th e ti me. When Abe got older and started school, he would make us late bec aus e he would fuss over his long-legged underwear.”
Margot in reminiscing about her Childhood remembered Vonnie taking pia n o lessons after the family purchased a piano. She tried to teach Margo t h ow play without any success.
One special Christmas, Vange, Vonnie, and Margot all received dolls an d T emmie got a sled. One day Temmie was practicing medicine on Margot ’ s dol l and smashed its face with a hammer. That was the last of the ba by doll.
She had a surprise birthday given by friends. They brought presents to h e r but she was out with another friend.
Margot attended Primary and Sunday School at the Twenty-Fourth Ward. T h e children were expected to go to church on Sunday. It was at church th a t she met many good Mormon boys to date. As a young lady she was in th e M .I.A. and when a Gleanor, participated in a Roadshow. She played th e par t of a boy. She also attended the Ward dances.
Margot attended Washington Elementary School, West Junior High and Wes t H igh School. She had a favorite music teacher and sang in the Junior H ig h School chorus. Some of her school friends were Edith Vanatta, Marjor i e Springer, Birdie Thomas, Hazel MacDiel and Edrie Boyd. When she was o ld er, she went out and tended babies to earn a few dimes and a dollar wh ic h she thought was a lot of money at the time.
While riding in a boyfriend’s car, they had an accident and Margot’s fa c e hit the windshield, cutting her nose in two places and her left eyebr ow , narrowly missing her eye. Her folks called the doctor and he stitche d h er face back together.
She relates, “One date I had took me for an airplane ride, which was a t h rill but a bit scary. Another date I walked home from Emigration Canyo n . I didn’t like the fellow I was with. I hailed a ride home with some m ar ried couples older than myself. When Saltair opened up, I went there d anc ing with a fellow and had a ride on their Giant Racer. That was fun.”
A friend of Margot’s introduced her to James White Jr., a very dashing s a ilor who the whole family thought was very good looking and very muc h a g entleman. He was on a navy furlough. They corresponded for two year s befo re they were married. They married in Ogden, Utah on 11 June 193 0 with th e Gene Youngdales in a double wedding. They received some lovel y gifts (s ilverware, towels, sheets and a pan) to help them set up house keeping i n Vallejo, California. Their two children, Eleanor Jean an d Cl yde Lund , were both born in San Diego, California. They also lived in Sa n Pedro , Miami, Kansas City and New Orleans where James was stationed.
