Comments: Sadly, "the tree of life" was reported as deceased on 9/4/25. This beautiful Oak stood for many years long before my grandfather and great-grandfather farmed this land. Our "the tree of life". Its limbs reach elegantly skyward from its massive trunk. This tree is remarkable due to its steadfastness and knowledge of times past. We are heart-broken for its demise and will affectionately remember its grandeur and shade.
