Summary
The audit matched the name South Fox Island in a Chronicling America page,
sn85026466_1856-05-07_ed1_p1, dated 7 May 1856. 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 by a man on snow shoes, eightv miles and back, at my privato expense, I do not.get off but ono or two a month. Our winter, so far, has been very fine, though a little cooler than usual, but the field of ico is immense,’ beyond all exam ple. I think thero is two thousand squaro miles more of ico north of the Maniton Is lands than have been known before within the dato of tho earliest tradition. Nino feet of ico was found by cutting through off South Fox Island, where Ice wa3 never seen before. This is to bo attributed as much to tho still ness of tho water as to tho severity of tho cold. Very little ice is banked. Most of it remains undisturbed where first formed.“ The Rage for Fiction. “I want a paper that has long stories in it,” said a young lady; and added, “I don’t want a paper lor anything else.” Poor girl much to bo pitied, and pitiful appearano she will make through life, at tho present rato.
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.
