Summary
The January 1971 Beaver Beacon listed people who visited Beaver Island during the Christmas and New Year season, families who left for winter, and residents who stayed through winter or newly chose to do so.
Evidence and limits
These are community-news lists rather than a population register. They do not establish the duration of each stay or a complete count of winter residents.
