Thomas A. Grigg, M.D. of Butte City Montana is a member 
of the regular school of practice and makes a specialty 
of treating diseases of the eye, ear, nose and chest.

He was born on Prince Edward Island, Canada, February 15, 
1862, son of Dr. William Grigg and Wilann (Daugherty). 
The senior Dr. Grigg was a native of England was educated 
in London and in 1826 came to America, locating in Canada, 
where he practiced his profession, and where he was also 
interested in shipbuilding and mercantile pursuits. He was 
thrice married. By his first wife he had nine children, by 
the second wife two, the subject of our sketch being his 
youngest child.

He attained advanced age, being eighty-one at the time of 
his death in 1881. His second wife passed away at the age 
of fifty-six years. She was a member of the Episcopal 
Church.

Thomas A. received a high-school education in his native 
place and studied medicine under his father. He then 
entered the Medical Department at the University of 
Pennsylvania, where in due time he graduated with honor. 
While in college he won the high esteem of his professors 
and brought with him there several creditable testimonies 
as to his character
and scholarship. He began the practice of his profession 
at Mahanoy City, Pa and during the five years he remained 
there he built up a large and lucrative practice. Too 
close application to business, however, impaired his 
health and he was advised by Dr. Pepper of Philadelphia 
to seek rest and change of climate in Washington. After 
six months spent in Washington he concluded to locate in 
Montana and on the 15th of October 1892 he took up abode 
in Butte City and resumed practice.

Dr. Grigg was married in 1888 to Joanna S. Miller, a 
native of his own town and a daughter of John Miller, 
a shipbuilder. They have three children: Elmer Roy, 
Leon Allison and Joanna. The family residence is at 
815 West Broadway.
