Summary

A May 1977 Beaver Beacon classified advertisement offered Lots 546, 547, and 548 on Gull Island Road. It named John F. Miller of Holland, Ohio as the contact.

The listing identifies lot numbers and a road, but supplies no plat, acreage, price, exact frontage, parcel geometry, or evidence of a completed sale.
