Summary

A January 2022 Beaver Island forum memorial reported the death of Theresa Archer, the last surviving child of Jim “the Bay” O’Donnell and Elsie Schmidt, and said that she and her husband would eventually be interred on Beaver Island.

Evidence limits

The surviving forum text establishes a family and cemetery connection but does not preserve a full obituary or provide the death date, place, funeral details, or later burial confirmation.

Sources

  1. The memorial says Theresa was the last of Jim “the Bay” O’Donnell and Elsie Schmidt’s children to die and that she and her husband, Chuck, would be interred on Beaver Island at a future date. The post links to a Neptune Society obituary whose full text is not preserved here; it does not give a death date, place, service date, or burial confirmation.
