Summary
The September 1961 Beaver Beacon reported three property transactions: two Wicklow Beach lots sold to Robert J. Laug and his wife, Gabriel Campbell’s purchase of the Francis Mooney farm, and Richard Guarino and his wife’s purchase of Sand Bay property. A November follow-up says the Mooneys had moved to Rogers City after the farm sale.
