Feb. 15, 1870, was a sad day for lo cal historians in Boston, for the news papers announced the next day that at about 7 o’clock the previous evening the old elm on Boston Common had been destroyed by a great storm which swept over the city at that time. So many eulogies, both oral and written, were delivered on this most ancient of Boston’s landmarks, and it wah real ized that a connecting Hnk with the remote past was gone forever. It is not known when the tree began to grow, but an old Boston tradition was that the wife of Thomas Hancock, the eminent merchant, who was Lydia Henchman before her marriage, claim ed that her grandfather, Uezekiab Henchman, planted the tree when bo was a boy.® This would have made the tree just 200 years old at the time of its destruction. It is probable that some of the many persons on record as being publicly executed on Boston Common looked on the fair world for the last time when standing beneath its branches, for it was one of the largest tiyes, if not the largest, in the town, and it stood on its outskirts, and also in 1722 it must have been s prominent object in Bos ton, for Bonner’s map of the town, published in that year, shows it aa a feature. •In 1825 the first recorded measure ment of the old elm showed its di mensions to be as follows: Height, 65 feet; clrcuxnfeaence, 21 feet 8 inches at 2 feet 6 indies from the ground, and the extreme diameter of the branches waa 86 feet At this time it waa said of the tree that “this pride of onr Com mon is pronounced by judges to be as handsome in form ss It is Urge In else and venerable in age, and it may be worth the remark, notwithstanding all the buffeting it has. received from storms and hurricanes for more than a century, its original beauty and sym metry have not been impaired, al though it baa at times lost many of its The tree was accurately Measured by the city engineer of Boston ia 1855. and It was fou.ul that it was considerably larger than hi 1825. its height being figured nt seventy-live feet ThU showed that it was still growing In its extreme old age. The first serious damage the tree re- „ ceived was in 1832. when the largest of its limbs was so rent asunder that three branches rested on the ground, but at much cost and lal>or they were replaeed in their former positions and held together by iron rods and bolts. The great gale in June. 18*10. injured {He tree to such an extent that Its for mer symmetry was destroyed, and at this time the cavity in the trunk was filled with several loads of material. On one of the branches which were torn off at the time 190 rings were counted, which indicated the great age of the tree. . /■ The opening of the centennial year of the republic, 1870, found the tree alive, but decrepit, and it would probably have been decorated on Evacuation day and the Fourth of July, but, oa stated at the beginning of this article, Feb. 15 saw its destruction. The old elm fell at 7:17 o’clock' in the evening, its trunk pointing toward the Park Street church, and the force of the fall shattered the trunk, while the branches were scattered in every di rection. The melancholy news spread like wildfire through the city, and soon, despite the storm, the fallen monarch was surrounded by relic hunters. Arm ed with saws, hatchets and knives, they quickly detached pieces of the branches to preserve ns souvenirs. Per sons were seen in the theaters laden with boughs, and it was a common sight that evening to see men in the streets carrying limbs several feet in length and as large around as a stove pipe. Much of the tree was made into veneer, and one book at least of local history has on its back cover a large veneer from the tree, bearing on Ita face a lifelike engraving of the same. So passed the old olm, and Boston mourned for its passing.- * Dr. Jerome V. C. Smith, mayor of the city In 1854. showed his interest In the old elm by having the tree care fully pruned and cleaned, and b* caused to be placed around it an orna mental iron fence, octagonal in shape. On the entrance gate was attached an oval tablet bearing the following in scription : THE OLD ELM. This tree has been standing, here for an unknown period. It is bellevfcd to hav« existed before the settlement of Boston, being full grown in 1722; exhibited marks of old age In 1792 nnd was nearly destroy ed by a storm In 1S32, Protected by aa Iron inclosure In 1854. J. V. C. SMITH. Mayor. Soon after the falling of the old elm a young tree of the same species wat planted in the center of the inclosure, and today it has attained a large nnd aturdy growth. Coming generations of Bostonians may be familiar with a second old elm on Boston Common, but it will always be the first old elm .which witnessed, very possibly, tha -first settlement of Puritan Boston In 1C30.—Boston Budget.
