Summary

The September 1984 Beaver Beacon published an obituary for Jean A. Stout, who died July 26 in Midland after a long family and summer-resident connection to Beaver Island.

Evidence limits

The newspaper says that Stout held some interest in the Boat Company but does not provide a share count or corporate record. Her island connection is kept as the newspaper reports it.
