The site of the tree was purchased by the Church with a promise to the owners that the tree would be preserved.

When the tree died, members of the congregation decided to have it carved into a sculpture. IAS files contain a related article from the Dallastown/Red Lion Community Courier, Nov. 30, 1994, pg. 1.
