Summary
The December 1972 Beaver Beacon welcomed new winter residents and identified part-time or temporary winter households, while listing many residents who had left Beaver Island for the season. It also reported that Patrick and Rose Bonner had moved into town for their first winter there.
Evidence and limits
These are community-news notices rather than a population register. They do not establish the duration of each stay, exact departure dates, or a complete count of winter residents.
