Summary

The October-November 2014 Beaver Beacon reprints November 1914 reports that an Antoine Peane died on Garden Island at age 95. The reports describe him as a wealthy and historically known Ottawa-Chippewa/Ojibwa chief with property in the Beaver Island Group.

Evidence limits

The source is a later reprint with inconsistent period spelling and terminology. This event is related to, but does not conclusively identify the deceased with, the broader Chief Peaine identity in the KB.
