Summary

The 1982 Beaver Beacon “Fudgie Issue” is a visitor-oriented publication: it combines an annual events guide, Beaver Island history, a walking tour of St. James, visitor questions and answers, a map, winter logistics, and local business information.

Evidence limits

The guide is a civic newspaper publication and promotional source. Population, building-history, chronology, and business claims remain source-bounded unless independently documented elsewhere.

Sources

  1. A 23-page special issue answers visitor questions about year-round population, winter activities and transport, Irish heritage, medical care, school, telephones, plumbing, cars, electricity, and town locations. It includes an annual-events calendar, Beaver Island history, a walking tour of St. James, a map, and local business advertising. Its historical and population statements are preserved as newspaper claims, not silently promoted to verified census or property history. The holding institution's portal restricts automated access; the archive holds a copy of this issue and can provide it on request.
