Delilah, There was a "hanging tree" and I think it is still there or at least that is what I've been told. Durham is part Walker Co and part Dade Co... most of it especially where the mine openings were would be in Walker Co. The hanging tree Paul may be strung from is in Trenton in the valley. :o) Sue ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, March 07, 2001 11:02 AM Subject: Re: [GADADE] Can someone help with county info? > When I was visiting on Durham Rd - it was mentioned that the 'hanging tree' > was still there - although I guess I missed it > delilah evans > > > > > > At 08:02 3/7/01 -0500, you wrote: > >Hi Paul, I think maybe the "hanging tree" might still be in Trenton too. > > > >Sue > >----- Original Message ----- > >From: Paul R.L.
