Summary

The audit matched the name South Fox Island in a page of the charlevoixsentin0506unse, which the index carries undated. 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

nt Telfffram U idlil: .stories of buried i;. .i.ures have been t– i numerous in the past to invite credence, or even attract wrious attention, Mud the one I am ahouf to relate is ^iveii simply ’‘i’- cau-’e etTorts liave recently been made to discover the hidden wealth. About thirty years ago while the Mormons wert» living on Beaver Island, and a few of them were located on the South Fox Island, a sailor dieil in a hospital in Cleveland. Before he died he conlided a secret to the jihysi- cian who attended tiim. He claimed that a few years before, he and a companion stole |15,000 in gold from a vesMl they were in and buried the iiioiiev m;i tho <ou(|i l“o\ Island, ile described the ]ilace so minutely thai the doctor thotight he would have no dllllcHlty i 1 r.mling i

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. Deduplication here suppresses byte-identical bodies alone, so a second OCR edition of the same page is still a second record. The name is not unique to Michigan either, which is why the audit tests for a local cue at all. Read the cited source before you cite it.
