ing attention from naturalists and men
of science. A score of reputable resi-

story, and only for fear of vandals the
curiosity would be transplanted to one of
the public squares.
In 1865 the parasol was presented TO
Miss Susan Snuey, who afterward mar
ried Jacob Kohler and still lives in this
county. Several years ago Mrs. Kohler
utilized the handle to support a rosebush
in her dooryard Months afterward it
was discovered that it had taken root
and sprouted. 1t became an object of
curiosity for the entire countryside One
night some on attempted to carry it off,
and succeeded in tearing away a num-

moved away from York she intrusted the
''parasol tree, as it was called, to the
care of Mr.. and Mrs. Wisner, who have
carefully transplanted it to their own
yard and nourished it ever since.
1t is asserted that on the night Of Mr..
