When Signe had two small children and was pregnant with another, her husband Floyd was drafted into WWII. She asked the draft board for a deferment for him until after the baby was born but was denied.

While Floyd was away, she endured many hardships. To drive their old Ford, she first had to push it, then jump in and shift gears to get it to start. As she said, "Not the best exercise for a pregnant gal".
