Summary
The audit matched the name South Fox Island in a Beaver Beacon issue, dated January 1964. It kept the body as a local mention because the mention names South Fox by direction rather than a bare Fox Island. What follows is the indexed context. The page holds more.
Indexed context
the story is positive and points out the fact that love often times drives a man to action that under normal circumstances, he would never think of. Johnny Malloy was a big strapping lad in his early twenties and very much in love with an Island girl. Because of his size, Johnny had acquired the nickname of Johnny Buffalo. He was built like a pine stump and not an ounce of fat on him. He was a good man in the woods and timber was being cut on South Fox Island, so early in the fall, Johnny sailed to the Foxes to work. The work was hard and the days were long. On clear days he could easily see the head of Beaver Island, where his Irish lass was.

Scope and limits
A mention is not an event. Where a held source supports one, a curated article
under event/ carries the claim and this record is only its evidence.

Michigan either, which is why the audit tests for a local cue at all. Read the
cited source before you cite it.
