Evidence and limits
This is a newspaper obituary and an August correction, not a civil death record, medical chart, parish register, or complete family record. The exact identity relationship to the separately modeled John L. Malloy tax-protest signatory is left unresolved.
Sources
- Beaver Beacon, August 1974, “Obituaries: John L. (Mickey) Malloy.”Reports John L. (Mickey) Malloy’s August 16 death in Milwaukee, two days after open-heart surgery, and August 19 funeral services in Western Springs, Illinois. It identifies his 1917 Manistique birth, Beaver Island summer residence from the mid-1960s, ownership of Christ Building Materials in Barrington, wife and two children, and island-connected funeral attendees. It does not provide a civil death record or establish whether this is the same John L. Malloy who signed the March 1974 tax protest.
- Beaver Beacon, August 1974, “Correction.”Corrects the prior month’s obituary by identifying Msgr. Victor Gallagher and Fr. Bernard Scheid, described as Malloy’s cousins, as the officiants rather than Fr. Graf; the prior issue is not held in the current newspaper archive batch.
