Arnold Arthur Seibel was born in Harvey, North Dakota to Arthur and Anna
(Bich) Seibel on March 17, 1938. He was raised on the family farm and
graduated from Harvey High School in 1956.

Arnold and May Cookman of Bisbee, North Dakota were united in marriage
on June 5, 1959 in the Mennonite Brethren Church, Harvey, North Dakota.
They raised their sons, Scott and Mark, on the farm near Harvey.

As well as farming and raising cattle, pigs, sheep and angora goats
through the years, Arnold enjoyed going to auctions. He often came home
with something to fix up and sell.

Through the years he bought and sold anything from farm machinery to a
church. Arnold bought the Cathay, North Dakota Baptist Church when it
closed. He and May removed the beautiful stained glass windows. Most are
on display in the North American Baptist building in Sioux Falls, South
Dakota. He was a straw buyer for Olin and sold Behlen bins.

Arnold served on the Garrison Diversion Board of directors for four
years. Arnold and May moved from the farm to Kingman, Arizona in 1992,
where May taught for 10 years. Arnold worked at various jobs until
retiring in 2002.

They built a triplex in 1994 & a duplex in 2003. Arnold always kept the
property neat and helped with cleaning between renters. They returned to
North Dakota to spend summers in Harvey every year.

Arnold enjoyed watching sports on TV and going to a few Lakers
basketball games. He especially liked riding his trike, whether in
Harvey’s 4th of July parade or around Kingman.

He was a frequent customer of Wendy’s and always had a search word book
handy.

Arnold was a member of the Harvey Mennonite Brethren Church, now
Cornerstone Community Church. He is survived by his wife of 63 years,
May; sons Scott and Joy, of Harwood, North Dakota, and Mark and Karin of
Volga, South Dakota; grandchildren Brandon Seibel, Fargo, North Dakota,
