THE WAY-SIDE ELM
(Written for the St. Marys Journal)
October 24, 1907
About two miles north of the village of Avonton, right in the middle of the roadway, stands a lofty old elm of gigantic proportions. Fully seven feet in diameter and far over a hundred feet in height, its immense size together with its unique position make it an object of far more than ordinary interest. Left, whether purposely or accidentally, when the country was being cleared, this grim old "warder" of the way-side cannot but awaken strange thoughts in the mind of the passerby. Its great age speaks eloquently of the past, and its vigor seems to augur it a still lengthy future. It is to be hoped that no vandal hand will be laid on this grand old tree, and that it long remain, tall and erect, "The King of the Way-side". - Date de l'original
