- Charlevoix Courier, June 17, 1914, “Boat burns off Beaver Island,” reprinted in the 2003 scrapbook section.Identifies the late John Papineau as Henry Papineau's father and says John settled in the area in the 1850s. No public copy of this file is known; the archive holds one and can provide it on request.
- The library’s John Papineau card, drawing on Northern Michigan and census material, gives a Cleveland birth in 1832 and death in Charlevoix on August 5, 1904. Its settlement chronology is consistent with the 1914 report’s identification of Henry’s father as an 1850s regional settler.
