the distinction Of residing in three different

record by having lived in the sam house
while a resident Of the three counties which
we're Custer. Rosebud and Treasure. The Sec

a later county division Liaced them
in Rosebud and still a later one in Treasure,
where they now reside. In 1881 Mr.. Grier-
son. then a lad Of six came to Miles City
with his parents on the steamer Eclipse
after a voyage on an ocean ship from Scot
land and O trip across country by various

time was the great number and apparent
ferocity Of the bedbugs. The Grierson family
on to the Pease Bottom country
and took up residence. Mr.. Grierson when
he reached manhood became the first clerk
OF the district court in Rosebud county. He
was also at one time deputy county assessor

had remained in one spot for quite a con-
length Of time. but that he thought
it a little late to seek q new location and
life over again.
