black -berried elder tree which has stood in Octogenarian'Park
for an estimated 100 year had been uprooted when the car
driven by Bonnie Lynn Mowery sped. througtohe little park at
the junction of Arthur and St. Patrick's Streets. Mr. Patterson
had erected a heavy post in irOlit of the tree to prevent just
such -an occurance but the post lies prone with the tree as seen
in the photo at the left. -Above is hown the gaping hole in the-.
