  5. The forum reproduced an obituary with the February 25 death, Petoskey hospital, family, military, and Beaver Island details, and later announced a September 7 Funeral Mass. The reproduced obituary is a secondary copy; the newspaper and official church or funeral records should control if dates conflict.

  6. A second forum post reproduced the obituary and again stated the February 25 death, Beaver Island residence, planned memorial service, and Holy Cross burial. It is a duplicate community repost, not an independent vital record; the *Beacon* remains the controlling obituary source.
