Summary

The December 1960 obituary for Max Sondereggor names the Beaver Island Township cemetery as his place of interment.

Evidence and limits

This article records a source-named cemetery, not a surveyed or directory-backed resource. The current township parcel provides a reproducible approximate locator, but no boundary, founding date, plot, or relationship to Holy Cross Cemetery is inferred.

  2. The held five-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.

  3. The current map result places Saint James Township Cemetery at approximately 45.7509508, -85.5154099; this is used as the likely present-day cemetery representative for the 1960 newspaper name, not as proof that the historical name and current cemetery boundary are identical.
  4. PIN 013-222-021-00 is owned by TOWNSHIP OF ST JAMES, carries current situs 38303 Gallagher Ave, and has the listed representative point used as the current cemetery parcel anchor. It supports the present-day association but does not prove that the 1960 newspaper name and current cemetery boundary are identical.
