East and West: Capturing the people and land that make up America's Meridian line

This tree originally stood in the yard of a two-story log house owned by Del Hatten. As the story was related to Moore, one day his wife left him and went back to her parents; Del, who was drunk, went looking for her, took a shot at her on her folks'?? porch and, although he missed her, he assumed she was dead and promptly rode down to the river and killed himself. He was originally buried just outside the little cemetery just down the road from this tree, although the unmarked grave is now inside the fence.
