Summary

The January 1967 Beaver Beacon listed families and individuals who visited Beaver Island over Christmas and New Year’s, people who spent Christmas on the mainland, and the final residents leaving for winter, including Stanley Floyd, Elizabeth Gallagher, and John A. Gallagher’s household.

Evidence and limits

These are community movement notices, not a census, passenger manifest, or complete seasonal-residence history.
