Summary
In October 1963, Jack and Eileen Martin announced that Circle M, operating from the former rectory, would provide meals and lodging year-round. The notice framed the business as an off-season response to limited food and housing on Beaver Island.
Evidence and limits
The Beaver Beacon reports an operating announcement and names other lodging options. It does not provide a deed, business license, menu, rates, or evidence that the operation remained year-round beyond the notice.
Open questions
- Can township, business, or property records establish the purchase and operating dates?
