Summary

The September 1960 Beaver Beacon reported several new property owners with University of Michigan connections: Adelia M. Beeuwkes bought the Dale Thomas cabin, Richard W. Larson and Vernon L. Larowe bought two Cable Bay lots, and Vivian H. Visschert bought two lots at Boyle’s Beach.

Evidence and limits

These are newspaper property notices, not deeds or parcel surveys. The issue does not provide boundaries, prices, transaction dates, or a separate place record for Boyle’s Beach.

Open questions

  • Which deeds, maps, and University records identify the properties and owners?
