Summary

The September 2005 Beaver Beacon’s “One Hundred Years Ago” column reprinted September 1905 Charlevoix Sentinel notices about the Beaver Island cable and telephone service, shipping, illness and deaths, the Ancient Order of Hibernians, Elizabeth Whitney Williams’s A Child of the Sea, Frank Sherman’s drowning, and the completed cable’s weather-bulletin service.

Evidence limits

This is a later newspaper reprint and summary. The original 1905 Charlevoix Sentinel issues remain the primary sources for the historical notices.
