Summary
Seven Beaver Island-connected religious sisters returned to the island together in summer 1963, according to the August Beaver Beacon. The article identifies four Dominican Sisters and three Mercy Sisters and says Sister Mary Clare, celebrating fifty years in religious life, fractured her hip during the visit and was flown to Ann Arbor for surgery.
Evidence and limits
This is a community notice with uneven names and no complete convent, travel, or hospital record. It does not merge the sisters with every similarly named person documented elsewhere.
Open questions
- Can religious-order, family, or hospital records identify the seven visitors and confirm the injury and treatment?
Sources
- Names seven island-connected sisters, identifies four as Dominican Sisters and three as Mercy Sisters, says Sister Mary Clare was celebrating 50 years in religious life, and reports that she fractured her hip during the visit and was flown to Ann Arbor for surgery; it does not provide a complete religious or medical record.data1 · beaver-island-archive · beaver_beacon · 1963-08_Beaver-Beacon
