"John H. Terry, 76, Director of Bank, Matheny School
"John H. Terry, 76, of Douglas Ave., Bernardsville, died Thursday, June 19 at Morristown Memorial Hospital 10 days after rescue workers found him in woods near his home. He had been missing for almost two days, and was hospitalized for injuries suffered after he tripped and fell over some brush.
"Stuart Tuffnell, Mr. Terry's son-in-law, said Mr. Terry has been hospitalized last year for extensive testing, but that his recent accident had weakened his condition and was a contributing factor in his death.
"A lifelong resident of Bernardsville, he was a self-employed contractor and was a charter member of the Somerset-Morris Home Builders Association.
"He was also on the board of directors of both the Matheny School in Peapack and the former Somerset Hills Bank.
"He is survived by his son, John H. Terry II of Peapack; two daughters, Mrs. Stuart Tuffnell of Bernardsville and Mrs. Tore Nordal of Bloomfield Village, Mich.; a brother George of Aberdeen, Md.; a sister Mrs. Rankin Davis of Summit, and five grandchildren.
"Funeral arrangements were handled by Bailey Funeral Home in Peapack. Services were private.
"Memorial gifts may be made to the Matheny School, Peapack.
"The family of Mr. Terry sent a $500 donation to the Peacock-Gladstone Police Department, which aided in the search for him on the weekend of June 6 and 7. "
