Summary
A small log cabin in the Cloud Nine Cabin group burned to the ground on November 24, 1970, according to the January 1971 Beaver Beacon. The cabin was the one nearest the East Side Road; the source says the group was then owned by Franklin Douglas and had formerly been known as McDonough’s Cabins.
Evidence and limits
The year is inferred from the issue’s winter 1970–71 context and the surrounding news. The report does not identify the fire’s cause, response, exact parcel, or whether the other cabins were damaged.
Open questions
- Can a fire, insurance, property, or township record confirm the date and cause?
- Where was the Cloud Nine group, and what happened to the remaining cabins?
