Summary

[edit]
Description
English: John Bolton researched the forestry towers in the Cloyne and area and submitted an article for print in the November 2007, Fall edition Pioneer Times Newsletter . The Newsletter is can be viewed online at http://www.cloynepioneermuseum.ca Newsletter.

There is also a photo (circa 1955) of the tower in the article.
This is an excerpt from John's article:
'Myer’s Cave Tower is(was) located on what is known as Tower Road just east of Myer’s Cave on North Frontenac Road 506. This tower was an important one in the system, overlooking Marble, Mississagagon, Kashwakamak and Gull Lakes with many resorts and camps in the area. Ezra Wheeler, Harvey Spencer, Jim Perry and Oscar Lemke manned this tower over the years. Jim was probably the best known; he would welcome guests to come up to admire the view and explain the working of the system. After a long day, Jim would walk to Myer’s Cave and stay overnight with his brother George and sister-in-law Beatrice Perry. In the morning, he would go to Myer’s Cave Lodge, start the kitchen wood stove for cooking the breakfast for the many tourists.

Ellery Thompson of Kaladar Northern Telephone told me that the phone batteries had to be changed at this tower on a regular basis. If the fire watch was slow, Jim would call friends and visit so the batteries would run down quickly.'
