Summary

As winter began in December 1964, the Beaver Beacon listed nine people leaving Beaver Island for the season and Archie Minor, Ada Martin, and Jack Martin as returning for the winter. The notice preserves seasonal movement without claiming a complete resident roster.

Evidence and limits

This is a community seasonal-movement notice. It does not provide travel dates, itineraries, addresses, passenger records, or exact lengths of stay.
