"SIGRIDUR IN BRATTHOLT

Sigridur Tomasdottir was born in Braattholt
24th of February 1871, living there all her life.
She was the second-eldest of 13 children of Margret
Thordardottir, a housewife and Tomas Tomasson, a
farmer in Brattholt. Seven of the children reached
adulthood. Sigridur soon became a leader of the
sibling group, since her elder sister and only brother
left home at an early age. The sisters who remained
behind felt that Sigridur was often rather strict.

Sigridur in Brattholt was of average height and
strongly built. She was considered good looking in
her younger years and had thick and beautiful blond
hair. She was hard-working and early in her life,
mainly worked outdoors.

Tourists started to visit Gullfoss around 1875. Prior
to that time the waterfall was hard to reach because
of rough terrain and impassable rivers. Sigridur in
Brattholt and her sisters often guided visitors to
Gullfoss building the first trail that led down to the
waterfall.

Sigridur in Brattholt died in the autumn of 1957, in
her 87th year. The memorial which stands here was
erected in 1979. The picture on the memorila (sic) is made
by sculptor Rikardur Jonsson."
