Summary
The March 2012 Beaver Beacon remembers Elizabeth “Ebbie” Maloney Stephens, age 97, and her family connections to Beaver Island, where her mother and siblings spent summers. The obituary says she died in Fort Myers and was to be buried in Holy Cross Cemetery.
Evidence limits
The issue prints a September 21, 2012 death date despite carrying a March 2012 cover; this record preserves the newspaper’s stated date and flags the chronological inconsistency rather than silently correcting it.
