You sure have some nice hardwoods in the east. How old is that hickory tree? 150, 200 years? More?

I would say easily over 200-years.

We have a very historic graveyard almost right in the middle of our place (it can be quite an annoyance quite often; but, I also get to meet some very nice, very interesting people on occasion); this big Hickory is just inside the graveyard fence.

I will expand on the graveyard sometime soon; I will say this much; there is the grave of a 10-yr-old girl, raped and murdered in 1908, whose death caused a mob lynching of a man who may very well have been innocent.

Books, short stories, films, and documentaries have been made about this event; some quite respectable and some just opportunists trying to gain attention and make a fast buck.

Her family home was on our property.
