He worked on ranches and sawmills until the outbreak of the war withSpain. At that time there was a man in western South Dakota. A man witha broad grin and a moustache by the name of 'Teddy' Roosevelt, who was inthe process of organizing the 'Rough Riders.' When Pearson joined up, hebecame a member of Troop C. Black Hills squadron, under the command ofCol. Grasby. There were three regiments of cavalry which made up theRough Riders. Officially they were known as the 3rd volunteer U.S.Cavalry. Only one out of four volunteers could make it. The others wereturned down. His training took place at Ft. Meade, South Dakota. Aftertraining, the Rough Riders left for Cuba. War in Cuba wasn't anythinglike the frontier. The Rough Riders were now 'dismounted cavalry,'They wore hot woolen uniforms and jungle life was anything but pleasant.Peter said they put ashore in rowboats and the invasion was on. A great many names in Cuba's geography are familiar. He troop over muchof the island before the famed charge up San Juan Hill. It was theregiment that was so active in the Cuban campaign, under the command ofTheodore Roosevelt. After the war, Peter returned to the Black Hills and began working on therailroad for awhile. He was married in Flagstaff, Arizona in 1911. In1912 they moved to Twin Falls, Idaho where they lived the rest of theirlives.

The winter of 1879Swan decided to join his two brothers and families who had come to Kansasten years earlier. In 1880 he came to the Black Hills where a brother,John, owned and operated a sawmill. From there the two brothers moved tothe Bear Lodge area of Crook County, Wyoming. During the early days of the coal mines on Hay Creek, Swan built alarge frame building at Bakertown, one of the two coal mines towns, ofwhich he occupied one part and a family by the name of Robinson lived inthe other part. Later he filed on a pre-emption a short distance west ofthe present Aladdin Store. There he and Fritz Mortensen established ahorse ranch. Wolves killed many of the colts. The den of a female wasdiscovered on Table Mountain and a group of men destroyed the pups, butthe mother wolf escaped. When the Spanish American War broke out severalhundred head of saddle horses, including Swan’s were rounded up andtrailed to Fort Meade, South Dakota and sold to the army. Swan’s partner lost his life in work connected with the coal mine andwas buried on the pre-emption. Swan later filed and proved up on land near Aladdin. He never marriedas an unhappy affair during his youth made him decide the life of abachelor was for him. In later years he spent several winters withrelatives in Kansas. He spent his last years in a little house near the home of his niece,Mrs. Matt Whalen, where he passed away on 20 July 1939, and was buried atAlva, Wyoming. --- this statement is listed on page 393 in the book -- 'Pioneers Of Crook County 1876- 1920', by the Crook CountyHistorical Society, Crook County, Wyoming, published by State Publishing Company, 303 East Sioux, Pierre, South Dakota, Copyright 1981.

They left the home of their parents, Ola and OliviaPearson, two brothers and two sisters, of Billinge, Sweden. They arrivedat the home of their Uncle John Pearson at Eothen, Wyoming, in May of 1892. They wereemployed by Mr. Pearson in the sawmill business for a time. From 1 January 1898 to 1 January 1902, Troed had the contract to carrythe mail from Hulett to Aladdin and on to the railroad at Belle Fourche,South Dakota, until the railroad came into Aladdin in 1899. He used acart or went on horseback with a pack horse, making three trips a weektaking two days for each trip. He also carried the mail for a former contractor from Hulettto the Forks Post Office, east of Aladdin then to Minnesela, east of thepresent town of Belle Fourche. While in Hulett he boarded with Mrs. LuluE. Powell. In 1899 Troed and Peter returned to Sweden to spend Christmas with theirfamily, however they had to return to America within three months or gointo the Swedish army. On 2 April 1900, accompanied by their sister,Hilda, they again sailed for America. They arrived in Spearfish, SouthDakota, by train from New York on 14 April 1900. In 1902 Hilda married Alfred Nilson. In 1904 Troed and Peter, accompanied other young men of the area to theWorld’s Fair at Saint Louis, Missouri.

While working at the minein Lead, Mr. Merlin became ill and passed away from pneumonia. Troed and Emma were married at Eothen by Justice of the Peace, John Pearson, on 21March 1906. The house that Troed and Emma Pearson and their children Clarence,Mildred, Oscar, and Ivar lived in for many years was recently (1986) torndown and the new hardware store was built where it stood (corner ofHighway 24 and Park Street). In 1907 Emma and Troed bought the general store in Hulett from Cap Stormand John Youngman, also a new home, both built by 'Cap' Storms. They soldhalf interest in the store to Roy Bush and change the name to Bush andPearson Store. The name Bush and Pearson was painted on the front of thestore and that name remained until the store was torn down, even thoughBush sold his interest to Pearson years ago! In 1908 Sam Sherman had arrived in the Alva area from Langdon, Missouri.On a Sunday shortly after his arrival, in company with another young man,he rode horseback to Hulett. Wishing to treat his friend Sam bought anickels worth of peanuts at the Pearson store. In Missouri peanuts wereten cents a pound here they were twenty cents. Sam looked at the nickelsack of peanuts and then at Troed and said, 'If I can’t eat all of thesewill you take part of them back?' In 1917 the store was sold to the Rochdale Company, a cooperative.Pearsons moved to a ranch in the area. Later they returned to Hulett whenTroed and Roy again became owners of the Bush and Pearson Store. Pearsonscontinued the business until Troed passed away on 13 September 1953. His wife and daughter continued the business until Emma passed away on 04August 1956. Troed had been a member of the Masonic Order since 1916 and at one timewas a member of the Odd Fellow Lodge. Masonic services were held at hisfuneral at the Hulett Cemetery. After the death of Mr. and Mrs. Pearson, Clarence ran the store forseveral years then closed up and just operated the bar in the lean tobuilding built on the west side of the large two story building. When Clarence's health failed, the house and store buildings stood idlefor many years.
