The cabin was used by the oldest sister when she "needed her own room” about 13 years old would be my guess, and a hunting cabin in the fall. Linda wrote, “We had no running water, refrigerator, and no indoor plumbing. We used the creek as our refrigerator & running water and the river below the cabin as our bath. We used kerosene lanterns, flash lights, and candles for our light, and a wood stove for heat and cooking.” This is a great example of a “good old American family” and my wife and I will be honored to meet them!
