Summary

In a March 1972 report, officers of the Beaver Island Association of Michigan approved two $100 donations from the association’s remaining expense balance: one to the Beaver Island Medical Center Auxiliary and one to the Beaver Island Historical Society. The gifts were designated as a memorial to Murray Wanty, who had served as the association’s treasurer.

Evidence and limits

The newspaper reports a decision and intended recipients, not bank records, receipts, a formal meeting date, or the organizations’ later use of the funds.
