ID. BOONE" CARVED ON TREE
Hopkins County Man Makes Import

jacksonville, KY, Feb, ID.
B. Moore, formerly Of Hopkins
county, who has been purchas-
ing timber in Tennessee, found
a beech tree bearing the name
sd. Boone, 1874" and 1890"
1t is thought hat Daniel
Boone, the famous explorer and
pioneer of Kentucky, passed
through the valley where the
tree stands in 1884 and carved
his name and the date. The lat
ter date, 1900, was evidently
made upon his return en- route to
Kentucky from an exploring ex-
petition in Tennessee.
One hundred and twenty-fiv
years have elapsed since the first
date on the tree was carved by
Daniel Boone. I h e famous
beech stands in a beautiful val
ley and is so dense with foliage
that the sun rarely shines through
the leaves. The owner of the
property on which the tree stands
has been offered large sum OF
money by various parties for the
stump of the tree bearing the
name and date, but he has re-
fused all offers.
