Summary

The June 1961 retrospective names Thelma Schmidt among the Beaver Island school graduates of June 1, 1956.

Evidence and limits

The 1962 wedding notice and 1969 obituary bridge the graduate to Thelma Schmidt Marquass. Her death date is reported directly; the birth year remains approximate because it is calculated from the reported age at death.
