Summary
By January 1965, the Beaver Beacon reported that the Beaver Island Light had been turned off until spring, when the Coast Guard was expected to return to the island. The notice says residents missed the friendly red light across the harbor.
Evidence and limits
The newspaper does not identify the exact light structure, closure date, reopening date, or operational authority beyond its Coast Guard reference. The two Beaver Island lights are therefore both related but not merged.
