Summary
The January 1966 Beaver Beacon recorded a group of holiday visitors and returning college students, then listed residents who had left Beaver Island for the winter. The notices preserve a partial picture of seasonal movement between the island and off-island communities.
Evidence and limits
The lists are newspaper community notes, not a complete passenger manifest or census. Names and destinations are retained only as reported in the issue.
Open questions
- Are ferry manifests or comparable winter resident lists available?
- Which listed visits were connected to specific ferry or air-service trips?
