Who is Lloyd Lund?

If you remember from the 1920 Census for the Mathias Lund Family, I found a new relative...Lloyd Lund. At the time (Jan 1920) he was 1 2/12 years old and listed as "Son". I believe him to be the son of either Sadie or Clyde (so Mathias' grandson). Both were listed as single, so perhaps he was born out of wedlock. Here's what I did and what I found.

1. First, I looked for Sadie and Clyde Lund (Mathias' daughters) in the 1930 Census, on Ancestry. I found them listed as "sister" to Heber C Lund, Mathias' son. So far that all makes sense. They were living in Farr West, Utah which is only a few miles from Plain City. But where is Lloyd?

2. Then I thought I might as well look for Lloyd Lund in the 1930 census, again on Ancestry. I found two...Lloyd W. and Lloyd H. So which, if either, is my Lloyd? Lloyd W. was in Plain City while Lloyd H. was in Salt Lake. Plain City makes more sense, but Salt Lake might work just as well.

Lloyd H. was living with the Thomas Lund Family and listed as son. While his age (10 yrs) made sense I wasn't sure he was the right one...was he maybe adopted by relatives? I hadn't come across Thomas and Clara Lund yet...how (if at all) are they related to Mathias and Pauline?

Lloyd W. was living with the England family and listed as nephew along with some other notes that I couldn't read. Also, off to the side it says to see Line 119, which is for the Ralph and Amy Robson family. Not sure who they are either.

Here's a zoomed in version...can you tell what it says:
side: see sheet [?] line 119.
relationship: nephew Short S[????]

...the investigation continues...
