Summary
Michael Cull died on September 11, 1964, according to a Beaver Beacon obituary. The report remembers him as a Beaver Island commercial fisherman who owned and skippered the tugs Betty C and LaFond.
Evidence and limits
The obituary gives the date of death but does not state the place of death, cause, funeral, or burial. The event is therefore not assigned a site or a cause, and the obituary’s retrospective statement about the decline of fishing is not treated as a dated terminal event for the industry.
Open questions
- Where was Cull living and where was he buried at the time of death?
- Are a death record, funeral notice, or cemetery record available?
