Theodore Giesler was born on July 6, 1927, a son of Andrew and Mary (Sturtz) Giesler at Jordan, MT. In October of 1931, Ted?s family moved to a farm east of Plevna, MT where he attended the Tonquin country school. Eventually Ted?s family moved to a farm northwest of Plevna. Ted graduated from Plevna High School in 1946. Following school, Ted stayed on the farm helping his parents. In 1968 he took over the farm and ranch where he remained until moving into Plevna. After suffering a stroke a couple of years ago, Ted moved into the Fallon County Medical Complex Nursing Home where he has made his home since. Ted enjoyed farming and ranching. When time permitted he loved to play pool and have coffee at the Plevna Senior Center. When he had a chance he was always game to find the ?Big Fish?! In his younger days, Ted was a member of the Emmanuel Conjugational Church in Plevna where he was confirmed. Ted is survived by his two sisters, Hulda Shampine and Leona Head both in Oregon and his nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents, Andrew and Mary, his brother, John and three sisters, Ruth Dodd, Theresa Giesler and Viola Cackler.
