 Red apple tree stood about 20 rods north of this spot. It was one of a number 

 of seedlings taken from the border of the clearings and transplanted by John 

 Mclntosh in the year 1796. Erected by popular subscription, 1912." The old 

 tree was so injured by fire that it died in 1908, when about 112 years old.
