Summary

The February 1959 Beaver Beacon lists new Beaver Island Civic Association members from Lansing, Omaha, Melrose Park, Charlevoix, and Flint, and repeats the membership form and fees.

Evidence limits

The notice is not a complete membership roll, receipt ledger, or circulation audit.

Sources

  1. Lists new BICA members including the Stiffler, Sampson, and Wojan couples, W. P. Nolan, W. A. Armstrong, and Rev. Anthony Majchrowski, and says the Beacon is sent monthly to members. The form gives single, husband-and-wife, and business fees. It does not provide a complete membership roll, receipts, or circulation audit. The holding institution's portal restricts automated access; the archive holds a copy of this issue and can provide it on request.

  2. The held five-page issue PDF is paired with the canonical OCR source and confirms the new-member list and membership form; it does not expand the membership or financial record.
