Fox Islands corpus record: charlevoixcourie1979unse, undated

Summary

The audit matched the name South Fox Islands in a page of the charlevoixcourie1979unse, 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

remained an abandoned* SWftment after the hasty departure of the fishermen (BaUle of Pine River) until the spring of IBM. .when George Preston and family from Beaver Island arrived and took possession of ojitftf.lhe,hou5e5 yn the north snii nf the river and at once ^ about clearing land and making arrangements for a permanent home.

In 1855, John Dixon and family, accompanied by Wolcott and May. arrived here from Old Mission in the schooner “Emeline”.

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.
