Once Upon a Time, Elm Street Was More Than Just a Name

Perhaps the last standing elm tree in Middleton.  On Mayflower Drive south of University Avenue.  (Photo by Retiring Guy.)


The shape of this tree is different than the three taller, more stately ones that provided shade at 4 East Third Avenue in Warren, Pennsylvania.  The trees, along with most other elms in town, had to be cut down in 1966, victims of Dutch Elm Disease.
