Sources

  1. Reports a 76-year-old former Beaver Island resident who died in Green Bay on May 25, 1976; it describes house-painting and farming work and identifies siblings. The year-only birth estimate reflects the reported age and is not a civil date; this record is separate from the 1883 priest episode. The holding institution's portal restricts automated access; the archive holds a copy of this issue and can provide it on request.
