Feature Writer PAGE—Arbor day each spring attaches special attention on a, i proud pine tree on the north, slope north of the Hunt place about 112 miles south of Page ; Situated on the east side of the | highway, it still compels atten tion of passersby as it has for ■ generations. Much community history can I be written around this lone pine tree. When it was ceremoniously planted it was the only tree in j this locality north of the Elkhorn, river. A cone-bearing pine, it was carefully packed in a tub of dirt and brought in a covered wagon * ! The lone pine tree. . . holds many secrets. from the Pine Ridge reservation t ear Chadron. Mr. and Mrs. Dan McMUlin, who had visited kin at Chadron, brought it back. They dug a hole, stuffed carp into the bottom of the hole for fertilizer, and Aunt Mary carried the pine in her apron to the site selected for the seedling. It was tended carefully and watered regularly when domestic water was being hauled into town. Later it received protec tion from a fence. Ladies full of conversation used to sit in its shade on nail kegs provided by the Townsend Bridge company. Men settled world affairs there. Children played drop-the-handkerchief in summer and the proud landmark was a focal point for winter games. The Hunt children made the tree site their playground and the tree prospered despite the wear-and-tear. Strangers traveling through were urged to make it to “lone pine" where they would be wel comed and could water horses. One Washington-bound family, Mr. and Mrs. Orris Wilson and son, York, became caught in an early October snowstorm. They had it so good at the Hunts they stayed on all winter. Mrs. Dora Hunt Townsend recalls the Wil sons had fine voices; the Hunts had an organ. Mr. Hunt was justice of the peace 18 years. Duran Hunt filed at the land office at Niobrara on April 9, 1882, for the quarter known still as the Hunt place, now owned by Myrtle Hunt Fleming. The tree shared all events — good and bad. Stella McMillin and three Hunt sisters died with in two weeks and two were bur ied in one grave nearby. The lone pine tree provided a trysting place for Miss Dora and her bridegroom-elect, E. Roy Townsend, when they pledged their troth in 1900. Walter Hunt’s firstborn was buried beneath the tree and re mained there until they left to make their home at Riverside, Calif. A fence of white palings surrounded the small grave. For 70 years the lone pine tree has quietly and in its own way dominated the countryside. It richly deserves a plaque or some mark of distinction to protect it from falling prey to some eager beaver’s axe. For the tree will never tell the secrets it has stored. THE LONE PINE By Dora Hunt Townsend Let us take a look at the lone pine tree As the wild winds browbeat the land: Glistening, sturdy, strong and rugged it sways, Its seventy years protected by God’s hand. Many the storms it has weather ed throughout, A tornado once shook all its branches; Leaving soma scars on the grey young trunk. But it stood—and the landscape enhances. Listen—it speaks; soft and low is its tone To birds building nests in its cages; But when the storms sweep fierce. Then it sings the song of the cages; So let us grow strong as the lone pine grew, Straight, sturdy and staunch as life rages; Roots deep in the earth as up ward we look, Singing the song of the ages.
