In Phone Interview with Margaret Eaton Enders on 1 February 2006, Port Angeles: Daughter of Clark and Lola Mae Eaton. Margaret had a twin sister, Virginia, and a brother, Clark Junior. Lola Mae was born in Missouri before her family moved to Eastern Washington. Lola trained to be a teacher and her first job was at the Coyle School. Young Clark Eaton had been sent to the dock to meet the boat that she came in on and to show her to the accommodations arranged for the new teacher.

The two were later married and started their family while Lola Mae continued her teaching career. She also taught at Hoodsport for a while and then at Quilcene for another several years. When it came time to deliver her twin daughters, a boat took her to the hospital at the Port Gamble Mill.

They lived a rural home life, keeping a cow for their milk, and chickens to have eggs to use and sell (these were sold in Port Townsend and Quilcene). Lola Mae made fresh bread to sell to her neighbors. Clark had a large garden to feed the family while Lola Mae canned all that she could get to store for the family cupboards. She often got fresh fruit from relatives in Eastern Washington to can for her family. Margaret and her siblings spent their free time hiking and swimming when they were not working or going to school. The family picked wild blackberries and Huckleberries to sell in Quilcene.

Clark and his brother Harry had a fishing boat and usually left to fish the Alaska waters each May, and returned each September. They sometimes fished locally off of Point Roberts when they were able. Clark hunted and often took his children along.

The schoolhouse was the center of the community. Birthday parties, dances, holiday celebrations, and special events took place there. As a school, the attendants did a lot of rising and falling over the years. There was a period of a few months when the only students were Margaret and her sister Virginia. Mrs. Wyckoff was the teacher for the Eaton girls from the third thru the eighth grades. They then went on to high school in Quilcene.

The first year they attended Quilcene High School the twins boarded at Mrs. Wyckoff’s house, who lived in Quilcene by 1941. By their sophomore year, regular bus service to Coyle was operating and the girls were able to live at home during the school year. Margaret left for nursing school and in 1946 was working at the Port Townsend Hospital.

A Toandos Community note on July 18 1946 stated that Margaret was finally able to come home after several weeks of working the swing shift at the Hospital. He had been unable to get back home on her limited time off due to the great distance. She left the Toandos Community shortly after.

Margaret meet her future husband Leonard Enders at the occasion of Clark Easton’s 60th birthday celebration held at the old school house. Leonard had been a visiting friend who had been invited to the party. Margaret and Leonard were married for fifty-eight years. Leonard died in 2005.
