Evidence and limits
This is a service offer, not a completed inscription or cemetery project. The notice names no cemetery, work order, customers, or completion date.
Sources
- Mary McDonough’s notice asks interested people to contact Bob Winchester in Charlevoix so that someone could come to Beaver Island in the spring and place names and dates on tombstones in one work session. The source does not name a cemetery or establish that the proposed work occurred; “spring” is not converted into a precise date.data1 · beaver-island-archive · beaver_beacon · 1974-12_Beaver-Beacon
- The held nine-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 · 1974-12_Beaver-Beacon
