Oak Tree off of #13

 
This is a dying Oak removed from the 13th hole.  I counted the rings on the tree and determined it is 174 years old.  That means it was just a baby in 1841.  What happened in 1841:
 
President William Henry Harrison dies of pneumonia, becoming the first President of the United States to die in office and at one month, the American president with the shortest term served. He is succeeded by Vice President John Tyler, who becomes the tenth President of the United States.
