The Nicola Valley Historial Quarterly, Vol 4, No 1, January 1981, gives name as Lundboom.
"Lundbom/Lundboom was appointed Justice of the Peace in 1880, and Judge in the Court of Revision and Appeal for Nicola in 1881. Overgrazing of the Nicola rangeland was of such concern to Lundbom [sic] that is is said that he went out of his mind in the mid-1880's, and was taken from the valley, never to return. He apparently recovered and later farmed in the Fraser Valley. The Lundbom Commonage still exists as established in 1887 [see BC Lands' map 2B] and is a fitting monument to this early environmentalist."
