Arthur Gore Breffney Ternan was born to British parents and proved to be a child with difficulties in learning. In 1903 his parents sent him to live with Carleton Fisher Skaratt in Wyoming near Laramie, as an unpaid student/worker. He did well and acquired his own ranch on the North Laramie River. He was engaged to Hattie Gillespie, when he was struck by lightning and killed. Thurman Arnold from Laramie, Wyoming discovered his body.
