Tom Pearch and Barbara Gleason standing on a church lawn on Sept. 16, 1947. They were married November 9, 1947 in Eagle. [Her obituary says Nov. 9, her oral history says Sept. 16] Tom was raised on Squaw Creek. He worked as a heavy equipment operator at Camp Hale and Climax but was probably most known for his work as an auctioneer.
In 1950, Tom and Barbara bought the Bert Billings house on Brush Creek so that they could have horses and live out of town.
