Based on available info and pics and a little on-line research, green ash looks like a high probability, especially since you are in Wisconsin.  Be interesting to hear some others chime in.

That was my closest guess, the ash and elm leaves as illustrated in plant books look similar to me, but elm is kind of a long shot and I ruled out hickory completely.

I don't think anyone could say for sure from the pics, but I believe either ash or hickory make a bow!

I think all Hickory have nuts - Ash are girls. I'd cut the limb. You will know what it is next summer and it will be nicely seasoned. Luck!

If your Mom has lived there most of her life I'm sure she would know if it had nuts.

Definitely an ash, and the better view of the leaf says most likely green.  The leaflets on white have longer stalks, green are short, black are absent.

If you look at a twig where the leaves have fallen, next year's bud sits down in the leaf scar quite a bit on white, where green will sit on top

Green Ash is the typical tree planted in a yard or on a street.
