Summary

The April 1958 Beaver Beacon reports Margaret Cronyn’s Beaver Island Historical Society membership and says that she and John Kenny were gathering facts for a booklet planned for publication that summer.

Evidence and limits

The issue records a membership and research plan, not a surviving manuscript, published booklet, or complete Society register.
