From the History of Potter County by M. A. Leeson, Pubbed by J. H. Beers in 1890.
"Those passing the estate of Columbus C. Rees, to whom we are indebted for much useful
information, will notice a large pine standing in one corner of the lot in which his house is built, near the creek. This Mr. Rees set out when he was a boy, first in the garden, but at his father's suggestion he transplanted it to its present position. Benj. Berfield informs us that at this time his father was living down the stream; remembers his father camping out with two Indians, where the campmeeting ground is now, while hunting, and also remembers lying awake, when a small boy, until 1 o'clock in the morning, listening for the report of his father's gun, who was lying in wait for
a bear that had killed his sheep. The bear when brought in tipped the scales at 400 pounds."
