Summary

The Beaver Island Historical Society announced a new Life Membership Honor Roll at its museum in August 1964. The notice defined life membership as a contribution of $100 or more, welcomed two new members—one from the Island and one from Charlevoix—and credited Albert Dobler, Robert Birdeye, and Robert Coe of Detroit’s Adcraft Engravers with presenting the plaque.
