Margaret was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, a daughter of Elijah Waring Lynd and Katharine Leslie Hickman Lynd. She was known as "Peggy" to her family and friends. She made her home at 3410 Cornell Place in Cincinnati.
Peggy was a 1930 graduate of Hughes High School in Cincinnati. During her high school years, Peggy was a member of the Home Economics Club, Honor League, Choral Club, and Senior Sages.
In the 1930 Hughes High yearbook, her classmates wrote of her: "Peggy's gracious manner and conscientiousness will always be outstanding in our memory of her. Though seemingly quiet, her friends find her peppy and lively."
Margaret "Peggy" Lynd was a poet, artist, and amateur fashion designer, designing many of her own clothes. In 1916, when she was six years old, Peggy was acknowledged by stage and silent film star Margurite Clarke, as being the youngest war bond solicitor in Cincinnati. A photo of Margaret handing in her subscriptions to Miss Clarke is in our family album, along with another photograph of Miss Clarke, personally signed "To Margaret with many thanks."
Peggy and her older sister Katharine wrote music and enjoyed singing together. Peggy loved Florida and vacationed there at every opportunity. Her tragic and unexpected death at the age of 28 from a coronary thrombosis in 1940 occurred just before she, her mother, and her sister Katharine were moving to Florida permanently.
Peggy Lynd was preceded in death by infant twin brothers, John Waring Lynd and Thomas Lynd, who died shortly after their birth in 1900, and by her father, Elijah Waring Lynd, who died in 1936. Her mother and sisters Katharine Lynd and Dorothy Ann Staughton Lynd Hoffmann survived her, and also a niece, Dorothy Ann Hoffmann of Atlanta, Georgia.
