Summary

Elizabeth Green Gallagher’s 91st birthday was reported on August 11, 1973. The accompanying reminiscence describes her as a lifetime Beaver Islander and preserves details of island sheep raising, wool work, steamer wood cutting, and the decline of commercial fishing after lamprey became a problem.

Evidence and limits

The birthday report gives an age and family-history narrative but not a civil birth record. This source-bounded identity is kept distinct from another Elizabeth Gallagher record in the knowledge base.
