Summary

The Beacon published an appeal for information about the unmarked Holy Cross Cemetery grave of Owen “Old Owen” McCauley, an Arranmore-born Beaver Island resident.

Evidence limits

The appeal documents an unresolved research request; it does not establish the grave’s exact location or verify every supplied family detail.

Sources

  1. Requests the location of McCauley’s unmarked grave in the old section of Holy Cross Cemetery and gives approximate Irish birth, death, marriage, and family details. The holding institution's portal restricts automated access; the archive holds a copy of this issue and can provide it on request.
