The tree was estimated to be just over 75 years old.  

It grew for years in a wooded area in west Tennessee.  

That land became part of a farm 
that later became a subdivision.  

Living in the subdivision at a fence line for 31 years 
must have been interesting for the tree
as it observed the lives of several families. 

Not long ago the tree met its end by the current homeowner.

I rescued this section from the base of the tree.

It was clear the tree had not enjoyed an easy life.

It had several scars and quite a few nails.
