atty of the late James Lloyd Greene
that the fence was taken down and
roadway built to the westward of
the elm. There have been hundreds of
pigeons raised in that elm, which has
been great nesting place for stray
pigeons.
For years there was an iron railing
about the base of the tree, but that
did not sufficiently protect the tree
and its roots. 1t was therefore re-
placed short time ago with a fence
and the plot of ground inside was
tured over. A watering trough has
been located at the foot of the tree
for several years.
