Scholars study historic stone cottage on Wivell property by Hazel Baker Representatives of the William Penn Museum, Harrisburg, evaluated the stone cabin on Donegal Creek Farm, East Donegal Township, this week to determine the age of the structure. Some local his- torians think the cabin dates back to pre-revolutionary war days. At the invitation of the Marietta Bicentennial com- mittee, Dr. Barry Kent, John Tyler, and Ira Smith observed the structure in order to place a date of construction. The cabin was sometimes thought to be that of Peter Allen, an early fur trader. The officials will forward their observations to the owners, Mrs. Clyde Wivell and family. Hurricane Agnes caused a lot of damage to the structure. Flood waters weakened the walls so badly, the building may be impossible to preserve. The committee hopes te dig for artifacts when the weather breaks. ~~ -— p—
