Summary

The May–June 1976 Beaver Beacon asked residents to provide information about unmarked graves at the Beaver Island Township Cemetery so wooden crosses could be placed on them. Marge Wagner was the listed contact.

Evidence and limits

The notice documents an appeal, not the cemetery’s complete burial register, the identities of the graves, or a completed marking project.

  1. Appeals to residents for information about graves at the Township Cemetery so wooden crosses could be placed on unmarked graves; it directs information to Marge Wagner. It does not provide a grave list, survey, response record, or completion report. The holding institution's portal restricts automated access; the archive holds a copy of this issue and can provide it on request.
