Summary

The November 2013 Beaver Beacon publishes Joyce Bartels’s “One Hundred Years Ago” column, drawing on F. Protar’s diary and 1913 Charlevoix newspaper reports. The column covers fishing, shipping, storms, jurors, and other local news from November 1913.

Evidence limits

This record documents the 2013 publication and its stated source basis; it does not treat every reprinted 1913 item as independently verified here.

  3. A participant recalled the November 7, 1913 Great Lakes storm and repeated figures of 90-mph winds, waves over 35 feet, 19 ships lost, and 283 seamen killed. This is a later informal recollection; it does not override the held Beacon/Courier material or independently verify those figures.

  4. A participant shared external video links about the 1913 Great Lakes storm, and another replied with thanks. This documents later community circulation of the storm story; the linked videos and held Beacon/Courier material are stronger for the historical event and its casualty figures.
