Event date: Oct 28, 1870
The old elm at the corner of Main and Elliot streets, which, previous to its injury by the fire of last year, formed so noticeable an ornament to that locality, has at length been cut down. It was set out by John R. Blake of Boston, the former owner of the premises, about the year 1825. Not alone the bill poster and the early robin will miss its graceful form.
