Summary
Harry Moore was identified by an October 1929 notice as the engineer of the Charlevoix–Beaver Island mail boat James B. Sanford. The same notice reports that he was injured at Beaver Island by a boy on a bicycle and died at Charlevoix Hospital on October 16, 1929.
Evidence and limits
This is an episode-qualified identity. The article gives a wife, one son, and two brothers but no names, age, birth date, or exact address. It calls the boat James B. Sanford, while the 1926 notices and 1968 retrospective use James E. Sanford; the vessel article preserves that discrepancy. Other later Harry Moore mentions are not merged here.
Open questions
- Can a death certificate, funeral notice, or Manistee cemetery record identify Moore fully?
- What earlier report documents the Beaver Island injury?
- Was the 1929 boat name a typographical variant of James E. Sanford?
