Front:
Lone Tree Tower, Court House, Greensburg, Ind.
The soft maple tree grow-
ing out of this tower, 110
feet above the ground is a
"freak of nature" that is
unparall ed: Formerly four
trees grew out of this tower
but the largest was removed
in 1887 as it had begun to
spread the blocks of stone
around it. Two others died
soon after from the intense
heat. The remaining tree
has had a slow but steady
growth and bids fair to live
for many years. It is about
15 feet high and 4 inches in
diameter. It is supposed
that all the trees started by
wind blowing the winged
maple seed in the crevices
where catching root in the
sediment of dust and wa-
tered by the rain, they
sprouted. The Lone tree is
about 35 years old.
