Collection Historical Note
Sidney Bryce Streibel was born on the Streibel family farm in Fessenden, Wells County, North Dakota, on November 19, 1922. His parents were Reinhold Michael Streibel (1892-1956) and Frieda Ida Streibel (nee Broschat) (1901-1966) of Fessenden. Reinhold Streibel served in the North Dakota Senate from 1936 to 1956, serving nine out of ten sessions as the Floor Leader for the Nonpartisan League. Reinhold and Frieda had two children: Bryce and Shirley.
Bryce Streibel attended a rural school in Germantown Township and graduated from Fessenden High School in 1940. He attended the University of North Dakota from 1940 to 1942. He then moved to Napa, California, where he worked as a design engineer for the United States government from 1943 to 1946. In 1946 and 1947 Bryce served as an apprentice with the Martin Funeral Home in Stockton, California. He married June Patricia Buckley (1923- ) of Mandan, North Dakota, in Napa in March 1947. One week later, Bryce enrolled as a student at the San Francisco College of Mortuary Science. He graduated as valedictorian of his class with a bachelor of science degree, passed the California State Board Examination, and received a funeral director and embalmers license in 1947. He practiced his profession at the Martin Funeral Home in Stockton, California.
While living in Stockton, Bryce was active in community service. He was active in 20-30 International, a young mens' service club. He served as Deputy Governor of this organization in 1949-1950, Lieutenant Governor in 1950-1951, District Governor (1951-1952), International Director from 1952 to 1954, and International President in 1954-1955. He also served as President of the University of Pacific Quarterback Club in 1954-1955, and served a four-year term as a member of the World Council of Young Mens Service clubs from 1950 to 1954. While living in California, June and Bryce became the parents of Kent Bradley Streibel in 1954.

In 1960, the Republican Party endorsed Streibel as the nominee for the office of Lieutenant Governor, but he was defeated in the primary election. He was then elected to the North Dakota House of Representatives in 1962 and served in the legislature until his retirement in 1974.
