Summary

Linda S. Arden and Kevin C. McDonough married September 15, 1973, at Holy Cross Church on Beaver Island. Rev. Herbert Graf, O.F.M., and Rev. Edward G. Donohoe officiated; the report says more than 300 guests attended the ceremony and more than 350 attended the reception at Holy Cross Parish Hall.

Evidence and limits

The newspaper account establishes the ceremony and reception but is not a civil marriage record. It preserves the source’s “Kevin C. McDonough” form without resolving the separate Kevin McDonough episode record.
