Sad they knocked down the tree, but nice to plant another. Then again, during WW II, trees were probably the last thing on their mind.

Love George L. Morton's line as well. Amazing how they put things back when. We tend to think we are so much smarter than in days past, but you read old letters and such from the civil war on, etc, and they were SO well written and eloquent sometimes. Thanks for sharing more local history. Really enjoy it.
