Summary
McDonough’s Store held an open house on May 6, 1973, celebrating forty years of operation under the McDonough name. The issue also preserves a longer property history: a 1903 Beaver Island Lumber Company purchase, a 1915 sale to John Grill, and a 1933 purchase by Lloyd and Eva McDonough.
Evidence and limits
The event and chronology come from a local retrospective. The account does not replace deeds, corporate records, or a complete history of the property and business.
