heart" and has been a township land
mark. Some idea Of the age and size
Of the tree is gained from the fact that
the trunk, just below the first branches
measured II feet inches in circum-
ference. Some Of the grooves in the
rugged bark were 9 inches deep. While
some Of the upper branches were de-
cayed. making them a menace, the
giant trunk is solid to the center. Il
has been left standing and will support
the floor Of an elevated summer house.
Two of the largest limbs were ID inches
in diameter.
The land on which the tree grew has
been in one family's possession since II
was purchased from the Indians. It II
now owned by John G. Sholl, q florist.
Tradition says the tree was planted by
Anna Antrim, daughter of John Antrim,
son Of one OF the original pioneers.
John Antrim, at the time. was - years
old. but his daughter predicted he
should live 10 pick and eat fruit from
the tree, and this prophecy was full
filed as the old man died at the age Of
104 years.
