The Wedding
Beverly Stadum, the second child of Palmer and Signe, married Bjorn — a partnership documented in the family archive through wedding photographs and a later photograph of the two at the old school house.
The wedding photograph preserved here is one of the anchor images of Beverly's chapter in the archive. The exact date of the ceremony is still being confirmed with the family; this page will be updated when that detail is verified.
Beverly's own story runs through scholarship and stewardship: a career as a social-work historian at St. Cloud State University, and the 2023 donation of the family's photographs, models, and biography to the Rugby Pioneer Village Museum.
