                         Grand Island Mystery
                         
           With the discovery of the badly decomposed remains of
         Keeper GEORGE GENERY, the mystery of the Grand Island
         lighthouse has been solved. Nearly a month ago, Assistant
         Keeper MORRISON, of Detroit, was found dead in a sailboat.
         GENERY was missing and there were rumors of foul play,
         but it was decided by a coroner's jury that MORRISON had
         perished from exposure. GENERY'S body was found in Lake
         Superior 20 miles from Munising. He had been drowned but
         in what manner is unknown. R. C. McKENZIE, of Munising, 
         had gone to that locality near the Pictured rocks, to
         see if the crop of blueberries was likely to be plentiful
         in that vicinity. Noticing a dark object upon the shore,
         he put in close and found it to be the body of GENERY.
         
         Transcriber's note: Death certificate, dated July 11, 1908,
         gives the name as GEORGE GENRY and date of death as June 6,
         1908 of "accidental drowning".
            The death certificate of Edward S. Morrison gives his
         date of death as June "unknown" of "Exhaustion result of
         exposure in an open boat in Lake Superior"
