Summary
The audit matched the name South Fox Island in a Chronicling America page,
sn84024735_1856-04-15_ed1_p2, dated 15 April 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
pent by a man on snow shoes eighty miles and back at my private expense, I do not get off but one or two a month. Our winter so far has been very fine, though a little cooler than usual, but I the field of ice is immense, beyond all example. 1 think there is two thousand sijuare miles more of ic<% ubrth of the Mnniton Islands than have been know* before within the date of the earliest tradition. Nine feet of ice was found by cutting through# off South Fox Island, where ice was never seen before. This is to be attributed as much to the stillness of the water as the severity of the cold. Very little ice is banked. Most of it remains undisturbed where first J formed.“ MTV ,?4\D STATE NEWS.

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.
