Read More	Sig was born March 2, 1917, in Noonan to Jens and Augusta Brodal, Divide County pioneers. He grew up on the Border Township farm his parents homesteaded at the turn of the century. Sig finished his first eight grades at Dolphin School, was confirmed at Our Savior's Lutheran Church of rural McGregor, and graduated from Noonan High School in 1936. The summer of his graduation, Sig "rode the rails" out West, working for a short time on Grand Coulee Dam and various construction projects in Marysville, Wash., before returning home to work with his father and brothers on their grain and cattle farm. On Dec. 10, 1947, Carol Hatlelid of rural Larson became Sig's wife. They raised their family in the farm lifestyle they loved so much, working side by side, and for many years as activists promoting issues of farm economy through the National Farmers Organization and the American Agriculture Movement. The stories Sig could tell about the nearly three-quarters of a century that he was actively involved in farming stand as a history of farming's evolution from threshing machine to combine and as a record of his admiration of the old-timers who came before him. Sig's favorite times were spent having a cup of coffee and exercising his "gift of gab" with anyone who would listen to his views about politics and the economy. He loved fishing, hunting, and trapping; bowling and horseshoes; driving around the countryside checking the fields and looking for Juneberries; and taking care of the grove of spruce trees surrounding the farm. Sig's life is celebrated by his wife, Carol; daughters, Lenore (Larry) Tooke of Clearwater, Fla., and Charlotte Coleman of Columbus; sons, Lynn (Anne) and Jim (Jen), all of Columbus; 12 grandchildren; two great-grandchildren; a sister, Myrtle Forrest of Las Vegas; a sister-in-law, Alma Brodal of Minot; a cousin, Lillie Ringwall of Columbus; and several nieces and nephews across the country. He was preceded in death by his parents; his brothers, Adolph, Willie (Adelaide), and Henry; and a sister, Gladys (Louie) Spooner.
