I've never heard of the Liberty Tree, a famous elm tree that stood in Boston near Boston Common, in the years before the American Revolution. In 1765, colonists in Boston staged the first act of defiance against the British government at the tree. The tree became a rallying point for the growing resistance to the rule of Britain over the American colonies, and the ground surrounding it became known as Liberty Hall. The Liberty Tree was felled by Loyalist Nathaniel Coffin Jr. in August 1775. "Liberty Tree and others" is thus ELMS.

He was considered a friend and regular guy by many in the community, even while lending his name to innumerable local causes.
