Summary

Charles LaBelaunga was a Beaver Island-connected resident who was alive at the 1962 Homecoming. The February Beacon death notice concerned a cousin with the same name, not this Charles.

Evidence and limits

The correction does not identify the deceased cousin or supply a birth date, residence history, or later death record for this Charles. The February notice’s family details therefore cannot yet be assigned to him.

Sources

  1. Initially reported the January 28 death of a Charles La Belaunga in Munising and describes the deceased man’s family connections. The newspaper later corrected the report: the deceased was a cousin of the Beaver Island-connected Charles LaBelaunga represented here.
