Summary

The December 1960 Beaver Beacon reported several Beaver Island property transactions: acreage near the airport, lots at Wicklow Beach, east-side property, the Carl Felix Motel, and renovation of the former Dale Thomas Cottage.

Evidence and limits

These are newspaper property notices, not deeds or title records. The issue does not provide parcel identifiers, prices, complete purchaser identities, or proof that the cottage renovation was completed.

Open questions

  • Which deeds, parcel maps, and building records identify these properties and transactions?
