Il Marks the Grave of an Ardent Ad
n1irer of Andrew jackson.

In the Baptist graveyard at Canton
lies he body Of an old revolutionary
soldier named James Sayres \ rude
unlettered sandstone marks his grave
but more conspicuous monument is
a large hickory tree the trunk o.
which, three feet from the ground
measures $685. inches in circumfer
ence
James Sayres was an ardent admir-
err of Andrew Jackson. so often called
old Hickory from the character OF
being so unloading in any cause
which he believed to be right
Mr.. Sayres always wore a sprig o.
hickory on his breast on training
days and before he died directed
that a hickory tree be planted on his
grave. This was done, and after the
tree attained proportions deemed an.
suitable TO adorn a grave it was dug
up. Another tree sprang from the
roots left in, and this in time was
also dug up.
When a third tree appeared, with a
persistency in a good cause worthy Of
emulation. relatives of the deceased
directed that it be not disturbed.
Hence the tree of large proportions
