Summary

The March 1969 Beaver Beacon reported Anna M. Drescher’s March 10 death at Charlevoix Hospital and her planned burial in Holy Cross Cemetery. It also reported the death of Dr. Clyde Dickenson, a longtime Beaver Island visitor, and Robert H. Jones, whose family had a summer home at Look-out Point. The April issue repeated and expanded the Dickenson notice with his medical and civic career details.
