Tree at Oakwood with compound leaves

I saw this tree at Oakwood Cemetery. Alternate compound leaves. Alternate compound leaves could be hickory, except these seem to have three leaflets, and hickories seem to have more than three. I didn't spend much time studying this tree. Did it really have three leaflets? Hoptree has three leaflets, but hoptree is short. I'll have to go back and observe more carefully.
