Wasilla-Big Lake News
By PHYLLIS EDWARDS
The newly constructed house
of Dennis "Curly” Crawforc
was completely destroyed b>
fire early this morning. The
cause of the fire has not as
yet been determined.
Wasilla volunteer firemen
responded to the call and were
able to prevent adjacent build
ings from igniting. "Curly” has
worked all summer and fall
building the house in his spare
time, and was moving into it
this week. No one was in the
house at the time, since Curly
had spent Christmas at the
home of his parents, Mr. and
Mrs. Frank Crawford.
