Summary
John W. Green died on September 26, 1963, according to an October Beaver Beacon obituary. The notice describes him as a Beaver Island-born sailor, farmer, lumberman, fisherman, real-estate worker, and political participant who had preserved local songs and stories.
Evidence and limits
The obituary supplies the death date and a retrospective life sketch but no funeral, burial, civil-record identifier, or complete family chronology. Its statement that Green held more than 200 folk songs and nearly as many stories is preserved as an attributed cultural-memory claim, not an inventory of recordings.
