"Linden Ida Knight McUne was born in Hoquiam, Wash., to Curtis Ross Knight and Ida Heloise Nye, the second of four children.
She married Haswell (Hal) McUne in San Carlos, California on Oct. 30, 1937.
The McUnes raised their children on a small ranch west of Burns. Life there was somewhat primitive and hard, with few of the worlds goods and comforts. They did not have electricity or running water until the children were teenagers.
McUne was a lifetime member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and served in many capacities, including a mission in the California at the age of 72. When challenges arose, she would always say, "We'll go as far as we can and things will work out."
She worked at a variety of jobs in her life including nurse's aide and in a lumbermill but considered herself primarily a mother and homemaker. During World War II she volunteered to watch for planes and boats coming into the San Francisco Bay area for possible attack on the mainland."
