| Note | Shortly before his 21st birthday Troed Andrew Pearson received permission from the King of Sweden to go to America, accompanied by his 15 year old brother, Peter. They left the home of their parents, Ola and Olivia Pearson, two brothers and two sisters, of Billinge, Sweden. They arrived at 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.
