Summary
In spring 1963, Beaver Island volunteers improved three public or communal sites. The June Beaver Beacon says Holy Cross Cemetery was raked, fertilized, and seeded; St. James Township Cemetery was cleaned; and the public swimming beach was painted, repaired, and raked. Plans were being made for a diving raft.
Evidence and limits
The report does not identify all volunteers, measure the work, document the raft’s installation, or provide cemetery maintenance records.
Open questions
- Can cemetery, township, or Civic Association records document the work and the proposed diving raft?
