It's funny where you find these. At least, it is to me. This one is just outside the power line right of way southwest of Jacob Lake, Arizona. The tree is still alive. Just barely. But, again, it makes for an old aspen. It had to be big enough for the carving in 1917, which means it must have been there for 30 to 50 years already. Ninety-eight years later, it is still standing. I found the carving on July 16th, so I was about three weeks too late to celebrate the anniversary. I should probably make a list of these so I can visit them on important milestones, like when they turn one hundred. Anyway, I'm thinking the carver had three names, but I'm not sure because I can't make out the vertical carving.
