[edit] Old Treaty Elm
Actually the marker does not exactly mark the Old Treaty Elm. According to a long-time resident, who remembered the Elm, the Elm was actually located in the middle of the Street to the right of the marker. The streets, built at approximately the time the Elm disappeared, may have been a victim to Progress. Sauganash streets were built by the WPA.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.77.18.71 (talk • contribs)
- That's interesting - I always heard that the Treaty Elm did succumb to Dutch Elm. Dutch Elm was not widespread until the 60s, but (I think) existed before that in Chicago. Anyone who remembers the Elm would have to be at least in their 80s. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.28.241.174 (talk • contribs)

- I lived a block away in the 50's. The Old Treaty Elm was gone long before my childhood, and long before we had heard of "Dutch Elm" disease. I think the marker was placed in the 30's; look at the picture of the marker to be sure, because the marker says when it was placed. Where the marker was placed was likely under the branches. The resident was probably at least in his 50's when he told me about the Elm. He had lived in the house, a block from the marker, all his life. That would have been probably no later than 1960 when he told me. Certainly, it was during the time that Mr. Lemm had the Sauganash Store on the corner. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.57.191.12 (talk • contribs)
