Island residents, as recalled by:
Charlotte ("Lottie") Hutzler was born on
South Manitou Island in August of 1889,
the daughter of George Hutzler Jr. and
Selma Erickson. She married Lightkeeper
John K. Tobin in 1906, and they had eight
children, including Mae Tobin Carron, the
mother of Bonnie Belmer. In the 1920s she
operated a store and served as Postmaster
in what is now the island's visitors center.
