I've watched American Elms die of Dutch Elm disease for all my life. Very common and all I saw died slowly. A few leafs got yellow, then a few branches, and eventually the whole tree.
The elm that seems to have died this July went from being the healthiest looking Elm here to having all the leaves dead in one week.

I suspect just a cultivar and sub-species to the American Elm.
