Summary

The November 2012 Beaver Beacon reports the September 25, 2012 death of Ethel Belle Lange at St. Joseph Hospital in Ann Arbor and notes that her family expected to hold a memorial service on Beaver Island.

Evidence limits

The forum notice is a contemporaneous community report and does not provide a formal obituary or independent medical documentation. The planned Island memorial is not treated as completed without a later confirmation.
