Summary

The August 1973 local-news column reported Edward S. Ladd and his wife moving into a new home at the back beach, and Glen B. Wagner and his wife moving into a new A-frame home at Sand Bay.

Evidence and limits

The source does not name either wife or provide parcel information, so this record remains a source-bounded household and residence report.
