Summary
The January 1962 issue reports five December births: Margaret Mary Adams, Shannon Grace Smith, Ann Marie Wogan, Kelly Joseph McDonough, and Scott Van Buren. The notices connect the children to Beaver Island families or property owners and identify several off-island birth locations.
Evidence and limits
