Summary

Philip Gregg — the same Philip Robert Gregg who moved to Beaver Island in 1960 — was named as the contact for a wooded Beaver Island town-lot advertisement that ran in the Beaver Beacon in August 1974 and was still running that November.

The advertisement

The classified offered a lot “fronting on two streets” and gave a St. James address and the telephone number 448-2305 — the same number a May 1973 classified lists for Ruth Ellen Gregg, consistent with a shared Gregg household telephone rather than a separate identity claim. The advertisement does not name a price, parcel description, or the outcome of the sale.

Evidence and limits

Neither advertisement establishes ownership, a deed, or brokerage status; they document only that Philip Gregg was the point of contact. The fuller biographical and civic record is kept at Philip Robert Gregg.
