They are worth the wait I have looked at the archivesJeff wrote:Thanks Susie!
We should come up with a better way to quickly put the back issues online, but every month something comes along and it hasn't gotten done yet. August 2002 - December 2004 are online as PDF's at http://www.beaverbeacon.com/archives/ but they are 5 - 8 MB files so admittedly they take forever to download on a dialup connection.
Joyce Bartels does do a fantastic job with A Hundred Years Ago each month - we are unbelievably lucky to have her! It's always fun to see what she comes up with every month!

Hi Bruce and Marie, I visited the Library of Michigan (LOM) today and found the citation for that newspaper clipping about the accident. It came from the May 21, 1908 issue of the Charlevoix Sentinel.
The handwritten date was in error.
