Summary

Dr. H. B. Haynes, who had served as Beaver Island’s resident physician from 1962, died in November 1967. The Beacon remembered both his medical service and his role in founding the Beaver Island Christian Church; it reported burial in Traverse City and memorials directed to the Christian Church and Medical Center.

Evidence and limits

The obituary provides a source-bounded account of his island service and death, but not an exact death date, civil record, or complete history of the Medical Center’s staffing.

Open questions

  • What official record establishes the exact date and place of death?
  • How was island medical coverage organized before and after his service?
