The secretary and manager of this business is John J. Pietila, who has had a long and active experience in business. He was born at Delaware, Michigan, October 30, 1884. His father, Nels J. Pietila, was born in Northern Finland in 1849 and married in that country Hilda Luukas. She was born in Northern Finland in 1857. Nels Pietila came to this country in 1870 and at Delaware, Michigan was a miner and also a logger in the lumber woods. In 1882 he became a pioneer in the Black Hills of South Dakota, locating at Lead, where he is still living. For the past 30 years he has performed an invaluable service in that locality as a minister of the Finnish Apostolic Lutheran Church and is still active in his calling. Politically he is a republican. His wife died at Lead August 26, 1916 mother of the following children: Elizabeth, wife of Nels Juso, a farmer at Englewood, South Dakota; John J.; Ellen, wife of Gus Kumpula, a farmer at Newell, South Dakota; Mary, who is an unmarried stenographer and clerk in the Internal Revenue Department at Washington DC, and Esther, living at home with her father. John J. Pietila attended public school at Lead, South Dakota, but his education was finished so far as books and formal instruction were concerned at the age of sixteen. The following 3 years he was employed in mills, mines and stores and in 1903, at the age of nineteen, he made his first acquaintance with Montana being employed in the mines at Jardine. After that he was a miner around Butte until 1907. From 1907 to 1919 he resided at Lead, South Dakota where by employment in different stores he acquired a thorough knowledge of the general mercantile business. Mr. Pietila again went to Butte and was an independent merchant there for six months when he sold out his establishment. He then became manager of the Kaleva Co-operative Mercantile Association of Red Lodge, remained there 3 years and for one year was manager of the Washoe Trading Company at Washoe, this state. He returned to Red Lodge as general manager of the Montana Co-operative Mercantile Association for a year and eight months, and then bought an interest in the Roberts Elevator Company, of which he is secretary and manager.
