Summary
The March 2013 Beaver Beacon reprints 1913 reports that Henry Wright died suddenly in Harbor Springs. The reports identify him as the son of C. R. Wright, a former Beaver Island postmaster and merchant, and say that Henry began working in his father’s Beaver Island business at age eighteen before moving to Harbor Springs in 1881.
Evidence limits
This entry is based on a 2013 retrospective that reprints contemporary reports. It preserves the reported Beaver Island connection without treating the later article as the original 1913 source.
