Summary

Hannah Maria Malloy married Hugh R. Gallagher in 1913 and, apart from a short period in Chicago after their marriage, lived on Beaver Island. The July 1974 obituary reports that she died in Berwyn, Illinois, on July 29 at age 84 after spending her last five years in the Chicago area with family.

Evidence and limits

The obituary supplies the island residence and family context but no civil birth, marriage, death, or cemetery record.
