Spouse: Charles Edwin or Edward Lund, md 18 May 1903, Logan, Utah.
Margaret Lucy Baker was born to Benjamin Charles Baker and Lucy Evans on 20 March 1885 in Franklin, Oneida County, Idaho. (Territory of Idaho)
She was born in an old farmhouse on the south side of the town of Franklin, Oneida County, Idaho, on March 20, 1885. She was blessed by Bendago Wilkins on May 7, 1885. She was baptized Sept. 6, 1893, by George F. Parkinson, confirmed Sept. 6, 1893 by George F. Parkinson, and married March
18, 1903 at Logan, Utah.
In her youth, she attended a Presbyterian school while living in Franklin. She then went to school in
Cherryville when her father homesteaded up Maple Creek, approximately two and a half miles above the school house which was used for the Cherryville ward meeting house.
When mother went to school they had to write on slates because there was no paper and pencils.
Their family had to create their own entertainment. Once there was a man who came to their home who was a ventriloquist. He would throw his voice to another side of the room and the kids would try to figure out how that was done. They enjoyed this immensely.
On their farm they always had animals around. They had cats and dogs as well as the cows and horses. Mother's father also planted an orchard on their homestead.
Mother used to talk about when they lived up to the ranch. She and her brother, Walter used to have a great big dog. There was an old man that used to drive by there quite regularly with his team and wagon. He used to sit on his team and almost go to sleep. They knew one particular place where the road was sort of a dug road so the wagon was below the rest of the bank.
Mother and some of the other kids and this Walter used to sit up there on the upper bank with that big dog. As this man came along they would toss the dog along side in the seat next to this man sitting and sleeping. He would get quite a scare because this dog bounced on the seat next to him.
The kids liked to climb on those hills and toss rocks down. One time they rolled them into a man's hay field and caused a considerable amount of grief to the man.
As mother grew older their father would go visiting relatives in the surrounding area and leave Margaret and Lizzy, her sister, home to care for the livestock and do the chores.
One time mother talked about when her folks were gone, and that they had eggs that needed to be taken to Franklin to the store. They went over the hill to the Porter homestead and there learned that the Porters were going to Franklin to do shopping. So they hurried home and took the eggs and butter and walked one mile down the canyon road and met the Porters as they were going to Franklin to the store; therefore, sending the eggs and butter with them.
At one time I remember mother stating that they were milking 40 cows and the girls milked them all by hand when the folks were off on this trip.
Grandpa would put milk cans full of milk on the packhorse and mother would ride with a can on each side of the saddle. Mother would take the full cans down a mile and a quarter down the canyon and wait for the milkman to come. He would put the empty cans back on the horse and she would take them back to grandpa.
This one day mother and her younger brother, Walt were left at the ranch alone. Walt shot a squirrel and he skinned it and brought it in the house. He told her to get the frying pan. He put the squirrel in the frying pan on the stove to cook. While he had turned his back, mother saw the squirrel in the pan, so she took the pan and threw the squirrel down the hill. When Walt saw what happened he went and got the squirrel and put it in the pan on the stove to cook again.
He was determined to fry that squirre1. He repeated this three or four different times before would give up and decided that she wasn't going to fry it.
When the kids were fighting grandpa Baker would say he would get in the middle of it and make it a three-handed fight. Pretty soon the kids would stop.
Dad and mother drove to Logan in a horse and buggy to get married on Feb. 22, 1903. They found that the courthouse was closed for Washington's birthday, so they had to return home without getting married this time.
Dad and mom went to Logan on the train and got married. They spent every last nickel they had just fooling around. Then they came back to Franklin on the return part of the train ticket. They stayed all night at Benjamin Charles Baker's home on the south end of Franklin. The next day they came home to Mogen Hans' home.
Charley Edward Lund and Margaret Lucy Baker were married March 18, 1903, at Logan, Cache County, Utah.
Lizzie had come the day before to prepare a wedding Supper. Those in attendance were: Charley and Maggie, B. C. and Lucy, Mogen Hans and Maren, Joe, Tilda, Dagmar, Annie, old Joe Clayton, George Clayton and Libby, Fran Clayton and 3 or 4 more of the Clavton's brothers and sisters. When the
Claytons came to the wedding supper they brought a present of plates, dishes, and Sugar and cream pitchers. Maggie's mother gave her a quilt for a wedding present. Maggie asked her dad for a wedding present. So, he gave Charley and Maggie a choice of any of his pigs. They took two little wiener pigs.
The first night that dad and mom slept together in his parent's home after the wedding supper, they found the bed filled with apples which was Joe's idea.
Benjamin Charles, Lucy, and Lizzie stayed at the Lund home the night of the wedding supper.
Dad gave our mother a wedding ring that had a little stone in it. She wore it so much that it broke where the hand bends. When she died, she was not wearing a ring and dad had us put that ring on her finger before they buried her.
Before Charley got married, he asked his mother if they could live with her until he got a house built. She consented, but said he'd have to ask Mogen Hans. Charley hated to do this because his dad was sick and grouchy, but he did anyway. Mogen Hans agreed on condition that Charley would get a house built by winter.
The winter before dad and mom got married, dad and Joe hauled sand, gravel and rocks for the foundation for dad's house. Dad never told anyone except his own mother the day he and mom went to Logan and got married because he didn't want a lot of gossip if the marriage didn't take place. So, it was almost a secret when they got married. Mom's parents and Lizzie knew, but no one else knew, not even Mogen Hans, dad's father. Joe and the rest of his family were awful mad at dad for keeping his marriage a secret. Mogen Hans asked mom if she was his daughter now. She said not to tease her and he pouted about it for days.
Dad's father said they could live with them, but they had to have their house built in one year.
Leonard: I'm not sure, but, it seems to me that dad bought just a little chunk of land from the neighbors to the east so that he would have more room to build his home. That's how they decided where to build the house.
The foundation consisted of soft lime rock which had to be hauled in. (Not sure from where) It was a fact that the lime rock was somewhat difficult to fit together and occasionally left cracks between the
