In Old Rehoboth churchyard near Union, two men felled a dead oak and found a six inch shaft of iron driven into the heart of the tree. The tree grew around it to a forty four inch diameter over about 200 years. The iron may be a hitching bolt or tent peg from early settlers, possibly pre dating the church. The relic is kept at The Watchman office for inspection.
