Summary

John Gillespie was listed as Saint James Township supervisor in the November 1974 Beaver Island election-results notice.

Evidence and limits

This notice documents the same man as John Wayne Gillespie — son of Jewell and Rita Gillespie, husband of Jeanne Marie Wojan — whose supervisorship is confirmed as continuing into 1976 by a later bond-sale report, and whose full biography is gathered there. This record is kept separate as the source-specific election notice it documents.
