Summary
The June 1962 Beaver Beacon reports that Mrs. Louis Barkely of Detroit died May 20 after an extended illness. It also reports the May 30 death of 80-year- old Mrs. Cecelia Griffin of East Jordan and notes that Eva McDonough, Archie LaFreniere, and Vernon LaFreniere attended Griffin’s funeral.
Evidence and limits
This is a grouped newspaper death notice. It preserves the island family and funeral connections without treating the report as a civil death certificate, obituary, or cemetery register.
Open questions
- Can civil and funeral records identify the two women and document the reported relationships?
