- The obituary reports Gerson’s January 2 death at age 82, says she lived on Beaver Island for 24 years after her husband’s death, and credits her with starting the district library audio-book program. It describes a mainland memorial and Indiana burial of ashes; it is strong obituary evidence, not an independent civil record.forum · www.beaverislandforum.com · 17 · t017580
