Margaret Kathryn Weida was the fifth child born to Nathan Lewis Weida and Harriet May Black. Her father had been raised in a Pennsylvania Dutch-speaking household, and the neighbors still called him "Dutch." On the day she was born, the doctor came to the house and asked who had filled the clothesline with clean laundry. It was Margaret's mother, doing one last chore as she went into labor.
She was named after her grandmother, Mary Margaret Fitzpatrick Black, and great grandmother (Mary Margaret's mother) Kathryn Isler Fitzpatrick.
When she was 10 years old, her older sister Perdita married Raymond Cauble. And when she was 13 years old, drying her hip-length hair in the sun, Raymond's 21-year-old brother Estel Cauble saw her and decided then and there that he would marry her.
She was quite an intelligent woman. After graduating from high school, she attended the Illinois State Normal Teaching University from 1926-1927. Estel met her train when she came home on weekends. Upon graduation and teacher certification, she drove a Model-T to a one-room schoolhouse in Illinois, where she worked until marrying Clyde Estel Cauble 3 Jun 1928.
When she and Estel built a home in Speedway, Indianapolis, Indiana, they built it three blocks away from Estel's brother Ray and his wife, Margaret's sister Perdita's home. The two sisters and brothers and their families spent a great deal of time together.
Margaret and Estel had three children: Mary Lou (John), a miscarried boy, and Carolyn Sue (Norman), ten grandchildren, and 15 great-grandchildren.
In 1953, after her youngest daughter graduated high school, Margaret started work at the Indiana Department of Revenue, where she worked for 24 years, retiring as a supervisor in 1977.
She loved to fish, loved to watch Hoosier basketball. She played piano. She always had an apple pie for visitors, and loved to entertain her grandchildren with tales of her childhood haunted house. She loved to travel, and visited all 50 states as well as Canada, Mexico, and five countries in Europe. She loved find-a-word puzzles, jigsaw puzzles, and was an avid cross-stitch crafter, pot-holder crochet-er and seamstress.
