I hate to see someone cutting down a tree that has been there since the civil war. I mean think of all the things that probably happened around it. (Probably because I taught history, and I love the thought of a tree that's been around so long.)

My son in law started to cut another and I was right there reminding him that tree had been around longer than his grandpa.

Here's a picture of the poor little thing. It's not really good and I'm a long way off so you might not be able to see how big it is. The limbs are falling so they do need to get those off, but I hope they will leave the trunk.
