John Rowe Moyle was my great great great grandpa he lived in the pioneer times. He use to walk all the way from alpine to were the Salt lake Mormon temple every day to go work on it. It was so far,he never needed to go to a gym. One day he was milking the cow when the cow got scared and kicked his leg the pain felt like a beehive full of bees after the beehive has been shook and rolled around . The said they would have to amputate on his leg so they tide him to a door and and gave him a shot of whiskey to numb the pain or he would scream, like there was no tomorrow. They then put a saw to his leg and sawed it off. While he was recovering he whittled a wooden leg for him to walk on after recovered he walked back and forth to the temple back to alpine on his wooden leg that looked so bad it looked like a dogs chew toy. He was known for the engravings on the temple that says hollyness unto the lord.
