Summary

The April 1965 Beaver Beacon carries hospital and recovery notices involving Lloyd McDonough, Joseph M. “Buzzy” LaFreniere, John Gillespie, Norman “Speck” Gillespie, and Dorothy McCann. The reports span Little Traverse Hospital, Chicago hospitals, and home recovery after surgery.

Evidence and limits

These are brief community health notices, not medical records. They do not establish admission dates, diagnoses beyond the printed wording, treatment outcomes, or complete identities.
