Laborers excavating for the foundation !,
to the restaurant to be erected on Depot
square met with their second surprise of
the week yesterday when they discov-
cred the stump of what must have been
giant elm tree. Although time has
had pretty much its own way with the
stump, it gave evidence of great girth
and its lower roots were quite as sound
as ever. One of Barrels older citizens who
happened along after the stump had been
uncovered told the workers an interest
ing story of the massive elm that once
threw its kindly shade over the square.
Until it fell victim to the woodlands
axe some 40 years ago, it divided the
work of shading the square with the big
elm that now stands in a small court |
yard at the rear of the Marion cigar
store. The surviving member of the pair
measured 1874 feet around the base, and
the old inhabitant states that the elm
on the restaurant site would have been
several feet longer in circumference had
it been allowed to live.
