Dr. James Clifford - Allentown, PA, USA - Dedicated Trees on Waymarking.com

"In all things of nature, there is something marvelous." - Aristotle

So says the plaque, which is mounted on the tree dedicated to Dr. James Clifford. It is along the western pathway encircling the newer portion of the cemetery at Western Salisbury Church in Allentown, PA.

Most of the dedicated trees here have small plastic signs, but this one is much nicer - made of brass, painted brown with the quote from Aristotle.

Here is something from the obituary of Dr. Clifford, dated May 20 2004:
