Regarding Scion of the Washington Elm. The local Crater Lake DAR Chapter mentions this marker on its website and it reads:

On February 22, 1932, a tablet was placed at the base of a scion of a Washington Elm, which was planted in Library Park (now called Alba Park). In 2007, the tree was blown over in a storm. The marker was found underneath the roots of the tree. In 2016, the marker was restored along side a larger stone marker. The tree was replaced with a hardier Valley Forge Elm.
