Mystery Tree

Does anybody know what kind of tree this is?
Here is a close-up of the leaves.
We inherited 3 of these when we bought our house. They’re all near power lines, and one is also near a big stump, so I’m guessing they’re something NES planted as a consolation prize when they chopped down other big trees that they considered to be a threat to the power lines.

I think they’re ugly. I can’t find them in any tree book, so they may possibly be just overgrown weeds, though they are probably 20-25 feet high. If anyone can identify this one, please let me know. Maybe if I knew what they were, I could try to develop a new appreciation for them.
