Summary

Daniel Wojan, a son of Anthony and Sophie Wojan of Charlevoix and a brother of Walter A. Wojan of Beaver Island and Madelyn M. (Wojan) Renaud, married Phyllis Squire on January 30, 1960, at St. Stanislaus Church in Ludington.

Evidence and limits

The 1960 wedding notice itself gives no parents, age or residence. A 2011 Charlevoix Courier obituary for a brother, Anthony John “Tony” Wojan, Jr., directly names “Daniel Wojan” among the siblings who predeceased Tony, alongside “Walt Wojan of Beaver Island” and “Madelyn Renaud of Charlevoix” — an explicit, source-stated family link rather than a surname-alone inference. The obituary does not give Daniel’s date of death or further biography beyond the fact that he predeceased Tony (who died in 2011).

Open questions

  • When did Daniel Wojan die, and what was his life in Ludington beyond this 1960 wedding notice?
