Marguerite “Muggs” Welsh, née Connaghan, died in New Jersey on October 12, 2008, at age 76. The reproduced obituary identifies her as born on Beaver Island and as one of fourteen children, connecting the death notice to the Island’s Connaghan family history.
Evidence limits
The surviving local source reproduces a funeral-home or newspaper obituary. It does not provide an Island death, burial, or civil-record event, and the family relationships should be checked against independent genealogical or vital records before being expanded.
