Cakhler N-T-Oec. 7-13 Tree Over 250 Years Old Cut Down Here A large white oak believed to be more than 250 years of age, was cut yesterday in the back yard of Owen E. Hitchins, Buckingham Road, The Dingle. The tree measured about four and a half feet in diameter at its base, and stood nearly 100 feet high. Hitchins had it removed because it had decayed inside and was considered by tree experts to be dangerous.

When it was cut down, it was discovered that over three-fourths of the inside had rotted away, Urner Wigfleld, of this city, and A. D. Thompson, Hagerstown, were In charge of the crew that removed the tree. Seven men worked on the project all day, and Thompson estimated that the tree weighed nearly 30 tons.
