Peter Merrill Teigen
TEIGEN - Peter Merrill Teigen, 75, beloved husband of Gladys Housel Teigen, passed away on Saturday, Sept. 5, due to injuries he sustained in an automobile accident near Grass Range on US Highway 87.
Peter was born on April 6, 1923, in Lewistown, the son of Peter M. and Edna (Poetter) Teigen Sr. He was raised on the family ranch at Teigen and attended the Teigen School, Grass Range School and graduated from Fergus County High School.
After graduating high school, Peter enlisted in the Navy and served on the USS Claxton under Admiral Arleigh Burke in the "Little Beaver Squadron." This squadron was one of the most active of WW II and fought in pivotal battles in both European and Pacific Theaters. Unknown to Peter, he provided broad cover for his brother Mons during the occupation of Bouganville, Solomon Islands in the South Pacific.
Peter was honorably discharged from the service in 1945 and returned to the ranch. He attended the University of Montana and received his Bachelor of Arts degree in Business Administration and Law in 1951.
In the autumn of 1953, Peter met Gladys Housel in Lewistown. He asked her for a date, and she tried to put him off with excuses of working at the radio station. She finally gave in when Peter told he wasn't driving 50 miles to see her without a date! Six months later they were married
, on June 12, 1954, and have been constant companions ever since. They bought and moved to their own ranch near Winnett in 1959. Peter and Gladys loved traveling and have enjoyed taking several cruises and attending the National Finals Rodeo for several years.
Peter Teigen grew up with his brother Mons, driving teams of horses, herding sheep, and chasing cows - just like any other ranch kids of their era. In his adult life, Peter spent 45 years working for the Teigen Land and Livestock Company. He was president of the board of directors as well as manager of the ranch for 25 years, retiring in 1996. He had a deep concern for the management of rangeland, and was a proactive member of the ranching community promoting constructive rangeland practices.
Honest, forthright, trustworthy and dependable are just a few words to describe this man. Slow to speak, slower to judge, quick to support and last to seek recognition - he was highly respected by his family and neighbors. Peter served his community with distinction in many capacities including: Board member of the Cooperative State Grazing District, member of the Montana Stock Growers Association, and Past President of the Petroleum County Stock Growers. He was also past president of the Sandman Post No. 95 American Legion of Winnett, Past Master and 50-year member of Jerusalem Lodge No. 115 AF & AM of Winnett, Past Patron of Rimrock Chapter No. 82 O.E.S. of Winnett, Anna Smalley Chapter No. 112 O.E.S. of Grass Range and dual membership in Jewell Chapter No. 48 O.E.S. of Roundup, member of both Scottish Rite of Billings, York Rite Bodies of Great Falls, Al Bedoo Shrine of Billings and Central Montana Shrine Club of Lewistown and Central Montana Nile Club.
Peter is survived by his wife, Gladys of the family home of Teigen; one brother and his wife, Mons and Eleanor of Helena; brothers-in-law: Clifton Bryan of Fort Collins, Colo., and Robert Lenhardt of Billings; and longtime, friends Joe and Laura O'Meara of Teigen; and several nieces and nephews
