Summary
The townships adopted a St. James Cemetery update project reported in February 1973. The notice requested information about unmarked graves and said materials had been purchased for forty new crosses.
Evidence and limits
The report establishes a planned community heritage project, not a completed cemetery survey or installation record. “St. James Cemetery” is retained as the source’s name and is not silently equated with another cemetery record.

- The held seven-page issue scan is paired with the OCR source and confirms the published notice or report; it does not expand the source-specific identity, event, or outcome claims.data1 · beaver-island-archive · scans · beaver_beacon · issues · 1973-02_Beaver-Beacon
