Gossip Friday: Goodbye, Old Oak

From October 1939:

Ever since Clark Gable and Carole Lombard have moved to their Encino homestead, they have been petting along their pride and joy, a 200-year-old oak three. The tree was continually being propped, its crevices filled with cement, and otherwise coaxed along, but the recent spell of wind and rain has written the final chapter for the ancient beauty. It was blown down and will now be sawed up for the winter fireplace.
