"Close," Stewart — "but no Cigar" –

An "interesting" theory supported by a very fine Phraud-O-Graph, but to transport the original Jukes Tree to Maine the perpetraitors would have had to 'borry' Chris's bogies, re-gauge them from 24" to 36" and at some point from 36" to 56½" and yet again re-gauge them to 24" — in addition to significantly reducing both the girth and height of said tree.  More likely, as Roosso surmised, the original tree fell victim to the sawmill that once stood in its immediate vicinity and survives exists to this very day as the 2x4 framing and/or exterior board-&-batten or ship-lap exterior of an edifice in scenic downtown Chama, N.M.  I concur with Earl in believing that a similar tree – much closer to town – was inveigled to carry on the honored title of its predecessor.
