Giant Metcalfe Walnut Tree Demolished at Captain Beer's Farm
The enormous Canadiantammoth walnut, famed for extraordinary growth, stood on Capt Beer's farm near Metcalfe. Smith Williams & Co of New York purchased it and arranged a public spectacle to topple the giant, which measured thirty six feet in circumference at one foot above the root and displayed a massive butt and four great limbs. The wood is said to yield many gun and pistol cases and cabinet work.
