Summary

The November 1962 Beaver Beacon reports that only two eligible Peaine voters and three eligible St. James voters on the Island did not vote. It also reports that Joy Green gave birth to Anne Marie Green on election day.

Evidence and limits

The turnout figures are newspaper-reported local counts, not certified returns, and the birth notice is not a civil record.
