A Tree With q History.

When the lot at the corner of Elm
and Orange streets, formerly the property
of Charles Atwater, was purchased by
Mr.. Joseph Parker, large Elm tree
which had been standing on it was cut
down. This Elm was an old landmark.
having been planted by Rev. Joseph
Noyes, who succeeded, in l716, Rev.
James Pierpont, as pastor of the Center
church, and continued to be pastor for
forty-two years. He died in 1861. He
lived in large two-story house standing
on the north side of Elm street and
where Orange street now passes-that
street not existing then. The house was
known as the Governor Eaton House.
At each front corner of his yard he plant
ed an elm, and the one Just cut down was
the one planted at the east front corner.
The only direct descendants of the Rev.
Joseph Noyes now living in New Haven
county, are Joseph Fish Noyes, of Wal
ingford; Samuel and Benjamin Noyes,
of New Haven, and some membersof the
Darling family living in Woodbridge,
descendants of Noyes Darling, of New
Haven. When Mr.. Benjamin Noyes
heard that the tree had been cut down
he bought its trunk, and will have j,
sawed up and made into memorial furni
ture for distribution. He intends to
give a chair to Yale college, one to Presi.
