i <r ¥ August 28, 1926 WINNETKA TALK 29 Tree Surgeons to Preserve Trees of Historic Interest Trees that are living mémorials of America's historic past are to be pre- served for future generations, without cost to the nation or historical asso- ciations. Congressman Martin L. Davey of Ohio, who is President of the Davey Tree Expert company, of Kent, has agreed to make this unique contribu- tion to the records of American his- tory. He will donate the services of tree surgeons of his Company to pre- serve one historic tree each year. The trees will be selected by the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution, as whose re- quest Mr. Davey makes his contribu- tion. Each state organization of the D. A. R. is gathering data on the trees of its state, to be given to the National Historic Tree Committee, headed by Mrs. Frederick E. Frisbee of Sheldon, Iowa. The idea grew out of Mr. Davey's generosity in saving the famous horse- chestnut tree at Fredericksburg, Vir- ginia, which was done at the sugges- tion of Mrs. H. H. Smith of the Ken- more association. This tree was the last of thirteen, symbolizing the orig- inal states of the Union, which were planted by George Washington to shade the walk from his mother's home to the home of his sister, Betty Lewis. Mrs. Anthony Wayne Cook of Cooksburg, Pennsylvania, the retiring President General, was so impressed that she endorsed Mrs. Frishee's re- quest of Mr. Davey, that he save one tree each year for the D.A.R. The tree to be treated this year will be chosen under the administration of Mrs. Alfred Brosseau, new President General. "Is it not an impressive thing to think of these historic trees as the one living link of the best things of a glorious past," wrote Mr. Davey in response to a letter of thanks from Mrs. Cook. "All other mementos of early America are inanimate, but these historic trees are living monuments that send forth their patriotic appeal to the Americans of today who are the fortunate beneficiaries of pioneer sac- rifices and foresight."
