In the early days of Merrick county.

the north bank of the Platte river
south of what is now Central CITY
giant cottonwood tree. This tree was
close to the old Oregon trail, and for
miles up and down the river there was
not another tree to be found. Under
its spreading branches emigrant trains
halted for rest to escape the heat of
the day under its beneficent shade.
1t came to be known to the early
travellers of the plain as the lone
tree"
Finally its branches withered and
its trunk rotted and the old tree fell
down. and the spot where it stood was
almost forgotten. A short time ago a
move was set on foot by the old set
tiers to set up some suitable mark on
the spot where the lone tree stood.
and the matter has been taken before
the county board of supervisors. A
marble shaft will be set up. On the
shaft will be the simple words, Here
