Oliver was born July 29, 1912, in Beresford, S.D., to Oscar and Emma (Vigell) Lundborg. After Oliver graduated from Alpena High School he worked for a short time at the Lundborg's General Store in Alpena, S.D. His sister Elsie who had come to Helena to work as the librarian at Intermountain College, called her brother to "come West" where he would improve his financial security. In his early 20s he hitchhiked to Helena with the $20 his sister had sent him. He enrolled in the Intermountain College, which he attended for two years. When World War II broke out he dropped out of school and went to work for J.C. Penney. He worked there for a year and had a conflict with the manager, which subsequently led to his termination. He always said that was the best thing that happened to him in his life. With $500 of his own money, $1,000 from his sister Elsie and $350 from his father — who also was a grocer in bargaining and bartering with eggs and watermelon — he then purchased land at 11th Avenue and Montana Avenue. He started a grocery store "Lundy's Market. Being successful with that adventure and his eager ambition he went on and purchased land at the corner of Benton and Euclid. He bought several lots and the city also chipped in with a few lots for this young businessman! This purchase was for $3,000. He and his brother Albert went together in a business venture and moved "Lundy's Market" to that location. In building the building the family made certain the "Dad," Oscar Lundborg, had a fruit stand to keep him busy after he had retired. They later sold a portion of the land for $1,000,000! He was very proud of that investment. The Lundborg brothers started grocery stores in Livingston and Townsend as well as Helena. Oliver went to Livingston for a while — while Albert remained in Helena. Rudolph established a store in Townsend. The three brothers finally convinced the fourth brother, Elmer, to leave Alpena, and in 1953 he started "Lundy's Wholesale," supplying their stores and other small stores with fresh fruits and vegetables. Oliver eventually sold the store in Livingston and returned to Helena where he purchased other real estate and assisted in enlarging the now Lundy Center. He and his brother Albert were business partners for a long time. He traveled with his sister Elsie for a number of years. Then traveled nationally and internationally with family and friends. He loved to garden and subsequently enjoyed canning his crop — always thinking his dill pickles were the best of anyone's! Ollie was a generous man with his love to friends and family who stood beside him. He enjoyed his work volunteering in the summer at the YMCA with Camp Child. He bought a home for a friend in financial need as he admired the friend's dedication in educating children. The activities Oliver enjoyed were fishing, bird watching, gardening, singing Barber Shop, photography and travel. He was member of St. Paul's United Methodist Church, Masonic Lodge, Scottish Rite, Algeria Shrine, Barber Shop Quartet and volunteered with the YMCA. Ollie never married or had children of his own; instead, he gave his services and assisted others in many a community to have an enriched life. He always was a "man of his word" and a handshake many times sealed an arrangement. Ollie also was a very spiritual man and loved "His Lord" and would look into the skies on many beautiful days in Montana with our cloud formations and sunsets and would say "He is calling me home." Oliver was preceded in death by his parents, Oscar and Emma (Vigell) Lundborg; sister Elsie; brothers, Elmer, Rudolph, and Albert. He is survived by his nieces, Betty Lundborg Hidalgo (Armen friend and caretaker) of Helena, Janine Lundborg Settelemeyer of Portland, Ore., Carol Lundborg Schedewitz (Clay) of Tok, Alaska; step nieces, Holly Houston of Coeur D' Alene, Idaho, Heather Gibbs of Vashon Island, Wash.; nephews, Erik Lundborg (Zinta) New York, Robert Lundborg (Shelly) of San Diego, Alan Lundborg of Townsend, Larry Lundborg of Townsend; great nieces and nephews, David Hidalgo of Portland Ore., Stephanie Hidalgo Durnam (Zac) of Belgrade, Betsy Pahut (Larry) of Anaconda, Joseph Hidalgo (Lorna) of Seattle, Britt Lundborg of New York, Heather Schedewitz Gross (Jeff) of Tok, Alaska, Crystal Schedewitz St. Germine (Dan) of Anchorage, Alaska, April Schedewitz of Bozeman, Carolyn Schedewitz of Townsend, Amy Pahut of Butte, Brandy Null (Doug) of California, Jeremey Lundborg and Luke Lundborg of San Diego; several other great-great nieces and nephews and longtime friend Alice Otten of Helena.
