Summary

The October 1969 Beaver Beacon printed the St. James Township clerk’s notice for a November 4 special election on creating a probate court district joining Charlevoix and Emmet Counties. The notice placed the township polls in the Medical Center basement and specified 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. hours.
