Summary

The April 1999 Beaver Beacon remembers Lawrence J. “Larry” Cull as a native Beaver Island fisherman, storyteller, and student of Island history. It says he served in Korea, died peacefully on March 9, 1999, and would return to the Island by boat on April 16.

Evidence limits

This is a family remembrance and death notice, not a civil record or complete biography. The reported April boat return is preserved as a planned family movement, not as a separately verified burial record.
