Signe Stadum

Overview

Signe's page is the family-side counterpart to Palmer's: the Stadum story is not complete without her Solberg roots, teaching record, household life, and cemetery geography.

Reviewed reference notes connect J. Signe Solberg, later Mrs. Palmer Stadum, to Broe Township school context. Family chronology places her marriage to Palmer in 1941 and identifies her as mother of Peggy, Beverly, and Rod.

Her living story should grow through Solberg records, family letters, photographs, and oral history from the people who knew her.

Map

Signe's map centers the shared family place: Saint Petri Cemetery in Nome, Barnes County, North Dakota.

The same place connects Palmer, Signe, Peggy's cemetery visit, Solberg graves, and the headstone record. Broe Township, York, and Rugby are confirmed family map nodes.
