Bio

John and Lola Terry lived across the street from Van and Peggy Gardner on the lot in Lund, Nevada where the fire station is now. As a child, Van and Peggy's son remembers the house well and spent a lot of time with John and Lola. He remembers that John was an older man when he and Lola were married. John was a horseman. He'd leave Lund in the early spring and would be gone most of the summer. He'd catch, train, and trade horses with ranchers. He wore hob nail lace-up boots, not cowboy boots. Someone asked him if he was afraid of getting hung up in the stirrup wearing those boots and he'd say, "No, if you get hung up you if you roll over your foot comes loose." That saved the life of the little neighbor boy from hearing that story as he was growing up when he indeed got his foot hung up in the stirrup and was being drug by the horse. He remembered John's words, "If you get hung up, roll over and your foot will come out." Which is what he did. John was also the man who trimmed trees in the town of Lund.
